High throughput is the highest comprehensive technical indicator pursued by imaging systems. It requires a faster, higher spatial resolution response of the imaging system to the target. It also requires data processing methods to be executed more efficiently and faster. The goal of high-throughput imaging technology is to obtain more image information in less time. Significant improvements in imaging throughput can be achieved through imaging hardware design, efficient imaging algorithms or parallel data processing. Continuous upgrades of hardware devices such as image sensors and processors help improve the overall performance of high-throughput imaging systems. Developing imaging algorithms and introducing intelligent and parallel solutions can improve imaging quality and speed. The development of high-throughput technology can be exerted from the perspectives of imaging speed, field of view, and spatial resolution.
