1. An X-ray imaging system, comprising:
a support structure comprising:
a first arm comprising an array of X-ray emission points;
a second arm comprising a detector array;
wherein the first arm and the second arm are movable between an open configuration and a closed configuration;
a system controller in communication with the array of X-ray emission points and the detector array; and
a display device configured to display images generated using data acquired using the detector array;
wherein the first arm and the second arm are connected by a mechanical joint and when the first arm and the second arm move to the closed configuration, the first arm and the second arm articulate toward one another from the mechanical joint,
wherein the first arm and the second arm are telescopic such that the first arm and the second arm are configured to individually change in length, and
wherein the each of the X-ray emission points simultaneously emit X-rays toward a separate detector of the detector array.
