Abstract

The present specification describes a system for eliminating X-ray crosstalk between a plurality of X-ray scanning systems and passive radiation detectors. The system includes a frequency generator for generating a common operational frequency, a high-energy X-ray source or scanning system coupled with the frequency generator for receiving the common operational frequency and configured to modify the pulse repetition frequency of the high-energy X-ray source or scanning system in order to synchronize with the common operational frequency and a low-energy X-ray scanning system and/or passive radiation detection system coupled with the frequency generator for receiving the common operational frequency and having a processing module configured to remove data associated with the common operational frequency at an instance of time if the high-energy X-ray source or scanning system has emitted X-rays at the instance of time.
