A scanning system includes an improved arrangement of shielding curtains to limit radiation leakage while achieving high throughput and limiting system length. The scanning system includes a segmented conveyor, including a faster conveyor through a shielding region to improve increase throughput of scanned articles, and a slower conveyor through a scanning region to ensure acceptable scanning performance. The curtains are arranged based on the changing gap distance between the articles that results from the changing conveyor speeds.

Method and apparatus to reduce radiation emissions on a parcel scanning system

A method for scanning an object in an X-ray security inspection system, wherein the X-ray security inspection system comprises an ingoing tunnel equipped with radiation-shielding curtains, an X-ray section and an outgoing tunnel equipped with radiation-shielding curtains, the method comprising: passing the object through the ingoing tunnel at a first rate of speed and with a first extent of separation between successive objects; passing the object through the X-ray section at a second rate of speed and with a second extent of separation between successive objects; and passing the object through the outgoing tunnel at a third rate of speed and with a third extent of separation between successive objects; wherein the second rate of speed is less than the first rate of speed and the third rate of speed, and wherein the second extent of separation between successive objects is less than the first extent of separation between successive objects and the third extent of separation between successive objects.

Computed tomography (CT) security inspection system with enhanced X-ray shielding

An improved dual energy CT imaging system for providing improved imaging and improved material identification.

Method and apparatus for performing multi-energy (including dual energy) computed tomography (CT) imaging

A mobile CT imaging system comprising a frame; a CT imaging unit mounted to the frame, wherein the CT imaging unit is adapted to scan anatomical objects and generate images of the same; a transport mechanism mounted to the frame, wherein the transport mechanism comprises a fine movement mechanism for moving the CT imaging unit precisely, relative to the patient, during scanning; an onboard networking unit mounted to the frame, wherein the on-board networking unit is adapted to connect the CT imaging unit to a workstation, hospital PACs system or other IT network without requiring the use of conventional physical cabling during the same; and an on-board power unit mounted to the frame, wherein the onboard power unit is adapted to provide the electrical power needed to operate the CT imaging unit, transport mechanism and networking unit without requiring the use of conventional physical cabling during the same.
