1. An imaging system comprising:

  • a gantry;

    an x-ray source coupled to said gantry, said x-ray source adapted to generate an x-ray flux, wherein a portion of said x-ray flux is adapted to become scatter radiation;

    a first scatter detector coupled to said gantry, said first scatter detector adapted to receive said scatter radiation, said scatter detector further adapted to generate a first scatter signal in response to said scatter radiation; and

    a host computer adapted to receive said scatter signal.
