In an approach to generating playlists/sequences of images, a system includes: a memory configured to store at least a first image; a one or more computer processors; one or more non-transitory computer readable storage media; and program instructions. The program instructions include: receive the first image; determine at least one characteristic associated with an object represented within the first image and an expected user input associated with the at least one characteristic; and generate a sequence definition, the sequence definition including an identifier of the first image and an identifier of the at least one characteristic, where the sequence definition is configured to cause the first image to be interactively visualized to a user via a user interface to determine if a user input matches an expected user input based on the identifier of the at least one characteristic.

In an approach to generating a synthetic three-dimensional (3D) X-ray volume, a first bag image of the plurality of bag images that includes an associated bag subvolume greater than a volume of a threat represented in a first threat image of the plurality of threat images is selected. An image is created based on inserting the threat of the first threat image into the associated bag subvolume of the first bag image.

A system and method for digital imaging and communications in security (DICOS) standard compliance validation. The system and method may validate both communication messages and files for compliance with the DICOS standard. In some embodiments, the system includes a processor for communicating with a test subject and a memory having program instructions stored thereon for performing a compliance test of the test subject to determine if the test subject is complaint with the DICOS standard. Execution of the instructions by the processor causes the processor to carry out the steps of: confirming that a transmitted DICOS message, e.g., a response or request, from the test subject is compliant with the DICOS standard; logging any errors in the transmitted DICOS message from the test subject in a validation report; and transmitting a simulated DICOS message, e.g., a response or request, to the test subject. In some embodiments, the steps further include, in response to the transmitted DICOS message, accessing a DICOMDIR file stored in the memory. The DICOMDIR file may be configured as a directory for DICOM file sets stored the memory. Transmitting the simulated DICOS message to the test subject may be performed in response to accessing the DICOMDIR file stored in the memory. Also, a DICOM file may be stored or retrieved from memory in response to accessing the DICOMDIR file stored in the memory.

In an approach to X-ray inspection image display systems, a colorized X-ray inspection image is received comprising a monochrome X-ray inspection image that is colorized in accordance with an X-ray inspection system false colorization scheme. The colorized X-ray inspection image is filtered by performing pixel shading on the colorized X-ray inspection image to generate a custom colorized X-ray inspection image having a custom false colorization scheme that is different from the X-ray inspection system false colorization scheme.

Various tray inserts, methods and algorithm for certifying candidate trays for use in an X-ray scanner system are discussed. The tray insert includes at least a body having multiple parts positioned for generation of image quality metrics for tray impact evaluation in; a first cover and a second cover disposed at opposite ends to fix and secure the body. The method including running an algorithm to control an X-ray system to collect baseline image data from certified trays, collecting candidate tray image data, extracting image quality metrics for both the baseline image data and the candidate tray image data, and performing statistical analysis using and comparing image quality metrics from the baseline image data and the candidate tray image data to certify the candidate tray based on the statistical and comparison results.
