We demonstrate tomography by measuring a sporadic sequence of ring shaped projections collected during a translational scan. We show that projections using 10% sampling may be used to construct optical sections with peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) and structural similarity index (SSIM) of the order of 40 dB and 0.9, respectively. This relatively small degradation in image fidelity was achieved for a 90% potential reduction in X-ray dose coupled with a reduction in scan time. Our approach is scalable in both X-ray energy and inspection volume. A driver for our method is to complement previously reported conical shell beam techniques concerning the measurement of diffracted flux for structural analysis. This work is of great relevance to time critical analytical scanning applications in security screening, process control and diagnostic imaging.
