Devices and methods for conducting pipeline inspecting operations are disclosed. Embodiments may include a robotic crawler or other devices with a plurality of arms, which carry imaging equipment, such as radiation sources and linear detectors disposed on or coupled to arms of the plurality of arms. The robotic crawler is configured to traverse a target pipeline, and the arms of the plurality of arms are configured to rotate with respect to the pipeline to move the radiation sources and/or the linear detectors in order to avoid an obstruction on the target pipeline while traversing.
