Imaging equipment sequentially comprises an X ray source, an imaging object, an X ray detector, a CCD (Charge Coupled Device), a data analyzing and processing device and terminal output equipment, which are put by an order. First, multiple X ray images are respectively shot for the imaging object in the same field of view through the change of the voltage of the X ray source. The imaging processes of the multiple X ray images are respectively described in combination of an X ray attenuation imaging formula and the gradation of the image so as to establish an X ray attenuation imaging equation set. The X ray attenuation imaging equation set is solved by an independent component analysis technology so as to obtain the attenuation thickness of the superimposed targets. The three-dimensional image of each superimposed target is reconstructed according to the thickness of the superimposed targets, that is, the superimposed targets in the original imaging object are separately imaged. Compared with a conventional X ray imaging method, the method has the advantages that the visual effect of the images is improved, and the medical diagnosis accuracy is improved.
