X-Ray Scanners FAQ

Security x-ray scanners are used to check for prohibited objects hidden inside luggage, baggage, cargo, parcels, and packages. These scanners make the screening process much faster and easier, helping security personnel find dangerous items like weapons, explosives, and contraband without having to conduct manual searches. They are commonly found in airports, government buildings, courthouses, shipping ports, and other high-security facilities.

X-ray scanners use x-ray beams to penetrate objects and create detailed images of their contents. When an item passes through the scanner, the beams interact with different materials, producing an image that highlights objects in different colors or shades based on their density and composition. Security operators can then analyze these images to identify threats.

X-ray scanners can see a wide range of objects, including:

  • Metals: Guns, knives, weapons, and other metallic objects.
  • Explosives: Bomb components and flammable materials.
  • Electronics: Phones, laptops, and concealed recording devices.
  • Narcotics: Illegal drugs and smuggled substances.
  • Organic materials: Food, plants, and biological matter.
  • Contraband: Hidden currency, restricted goods, and counterfeit items.

The level of detail depends on the scanner’s resolution, sensitivity, and imaging technology.

Yes, many modern x-ray scanners can detect drugs and organic substances. X-rays can differentiate between organic (e.g., drugs, explosives, food) and inorganic (e.g., metals, plastics) materials based on how they absorb x-rays. This helps security personnel identify suspicious organic materials like narcotics or homemade explosives.

Yes, x-ray scanners can reveal hidden compartments and false-bottoms within bags, suitcases, and containers. The scanner’s imaging technology allows operators to spot inconsistencies, such as unusual gaps, added layers, or hidden storage areas.

Most security x-ray scanners can scan an item within a few seconds. The exact time depends on the scanner model, the size of the item, and the level of detail required. X-rays with high-speed conveyor belt systems can scan multiple items quickly, making the process efficient for high-traffic locations like airports and public venues.

Yes, security x-ray scanners are completely safe for both operators and passengers. They use low-dose radiation that complies with international health and safety regulations. The radiation exposure from an x-ray scanner is significantly lower than that from a medical x-ray, and it does not pose a health risk to people passing their belongings through the scanner.

  • Single-view x-ray scanners: Capture one image from a single angle. They are effective for general screening but may require additional manual checks for complex items.
  • Dual-view x-ray scanners: Take images from two different angles, showing a more complete view of the scanned item. This makes it easier to identify various objects and reduces the need for secondary inspections. Dual-view scanners are preferred in high-security situations where accurate threat detection is critical.

Choosing the right X-ray scanner and inspection system depends on several factors:

  • Scanning needs: What types of items will you be screening (luggage, pallets, parcels)?
  • Security level: Do you need advanced detection for weapons, explosives, or narcotics?
  • Throughput capacity: How many items will you scan per hour?
  • Space requirements: Do you need a compact scanner or a large, high-capacity model?
