Mobile Inspection System: Backscattered X-rays

introduction

Mobile Backscatter X-ray Inspection Systems provide a fast, nonintrusive way to detect hidden threats like explosives, weapons, and
drugs. Designed for use in areas without fixed inspection setups — like
borders, ports, or events— they combine advanced X-ray imaging with
the mobility of a van or truck to handle large items like vehicles and
cargo efficiently.

The Technology: How Backscatter Works

Backscatter X-ray technology differs from traditional X-ray systems by detecting radiation that reflects back from an object rather than passing through it. It uses low-dose X-rays, which scatter more from lighter, organic materials and less from denser materials like metals. By
measuring the intensity of the scattered radiation point-by-point, the
system creates images that highlight hidden organic substances and
anomalies.

Backscatter X-ray Technology : Key Advantages

One-Sided Imaging: Because the X-ray source and detectors are
positioned on the same side of the object, the system can perform
inspections even when access to the opposite side is impractical or
impossible. This is invaluable for scanning the sides and roofs of
vehicles, cargo containers stacked or positioned against walls, and even
building structures.

Backscatter X-ray Technology : Key Advantages

Mobility and Flexibility: Integrated onto a vehicle, the entire system can
be rapidly deployed to virtually any location. This mobility brings
advanced inspection capabilities to temporary checkpoints, remote
areas, or dynamically changing security perimeters, reducing reliance on
costly fixed infrastructure and increasing operational tempo.

Backscatter X-ray Technology : Key Advantages

Enhanced Material Detection: Backscatter systems excel at detecting
low-density organic materials that might be missed by other inspection
methods. Their sensitivity makes them highly effective for identifying
hidden explosives (bulk, sheet, or liquid), narcotics, large amounts of
currency, plastic weaponry, and even stowaways concealed within
vehicles or cargo. This capability often complements traditional
transmission X-ray systems, which are typically better at imaging dense
metallic objects.

Backscatter X-ray Technology : Applications

Border Security: Screening vehicles and cargo for contraband, weapons, and
undocumented individuals.
Ports and Cargo Facilities: Inspecting shipping containers and freight nonintrusively.
Event Security: Securing large public gatherings by scanning incoming
vehicles, equipment, and deliveries.
Critical Infrastructure Protection: Monitoring vehicles entering sensitive sites
like power plants or government buildings.
Law Enforcement: Providing support for searches and investigations requiring
non-destructive examination.

Backscatter X-ray Technology : Safety

While utilizing X-ray technology, these systems are designed with safety as a
priority. They employ low doses of radiation and incorporate integrated
shielding and clearly defined safety zones to protect both operators and the
public. Operators receive specific training in radiation safety protocols, and the
systems adhere to strict international safety standards
