1. A system comprising:
an X-ray source emitting a fan-out beam of X-rays;
an X-ray detector assembly detecting the fan-out beam of X-rays emitted from the X-ray source, the X-ray detector assembly comprising a back member, a first member, and a second member;
a connecting member operatively connecting the X-ray source and the X-ray detector assembly;
a translational mechanism moving the X-ray source simultaneously with the X-ray detector assembly while operatively connected by the connecting member;
a first calibration assembly operatively connected to the back member of the X-ray detector assembly comprising a first calibration actuator associated with a first slider operatively connected to a first slide track;
a second calibration assembly operatively connected to the back member of the X-ray detector assembly comprising a second calibration actuator associated with a second slider operatively connected to a second side track, the first calibration assembly and the second calibration assembly independently controlling movement of the X-ray detector assembly, respectively, relative to the fan-out beam of X-rays to achieve alignment of the X-ray source and the X-ray detector assembly; and
a detector plate operatively connected to the first slider and the second slider, wherein the detector plate is operatively connected to the back member of the X-ray detector assembly.
