Advanced Ultra-Low Dose Digital Radiographic Imaging System

The Problem

n    How to safely and effectively detect concealed non-metal materials in the clothes or inside the human or animal body cavities?

n    Magnetic Sensors – Do not detect non-metal objects

n    X-Ray Luggage Inspection Systems – Not designed to minimize radiation exposure for human and animal applications

n    X-Ray Backscattering Systems – Poor resolution and slow scanning times making this an impractical solution for high-throughput installations

The Solution

Ultra-Low Dose Digital Radiographic Imaging System (“ULDRIS”)

n    Ultra-low dose of radiation (0.3 μSv)

n    High throughput of up to 1000 people per hour

n    High contrast sensitivity and wide dynamic range allows reliable detection of non-metal artifacts including sheet explosives hidden inside the clothes or inside the highest density body cavities

n    Proprietary highly-sensitive radiation detector allows real-time dynamic resolution mode of operation

n    High level of security, privacy and convenience for persons being inspected

n    Optional, easy to assemble, mobile version is available for field operations.

n    Full body scan is completed within 2 seconds including shoe soles (throughput of 500-1000 people per hour)

n    Can accommodate persons of almost any size (7’ x 3’)

n    Person can be scanned while holding a small purse or briefcase at their side

n    Full body image appears on a high-resolution monitor within 1 second

The Problems with X-Ray Backscattering Systems

n    Operate by scanning subject with soft X-rays , which penetrate only about 2mm through clothing

n    Requires multiple-view scans (3 to 4), each lasting 6-8 seconds

n    Privacy concerns result from naked-body-like images produced by the backscattering technique

n    Throughput is limited to 50-100 people per hour

n    Cannot detect objects hidden inside human body cavities, or inside a shoe-sole or cast, sheet explosives hidden under thick leather belt, jacket or coat
