Abstract
A scanner () includes a radiation source () that emits radiation that traverses a scanning region and a detector array (), including a line of detectors (), that detects radiation traversing the scanning region, wherein the radiation source and the detector array are located on opposing sides of the scanning region. The scanner further includes a mover () configured to move an object through the scanning region when scanning the object. The line of detectors () is configured to move in a plane, which is substantially parallel to the scanning region, in coordination with the mover moving the object, thereby creating a plane of detection for scanning the object.
