Abstract
A target inspection system includes a portable x-ray scanner configured to output a scanning beam of x-rays, a transmission detector module to detect x-rays of the scanning beam of x-rays that are transmitted through a target when the target is interposed between the portable x-ray scanner and the transmission detector module, and a coupling arm configured to couple the portable x-ray scanner to the transmission detector module mechanically to form a target inspection assembly, via a mechanical coupling between the coupling arm and the portable x-ray scanner at a proximal end of the coupling arm, and via a mechanical coupling between the coupling arm and the transmission detector module at a distal end of the coupling arm. The transmission detector module and the portable x-ray scanner are mechanically coupled together via the coupling arm, defining an opening to receive the target to be interposed therebetween for an x-ray scanning operation.
