Portal Backscatter X-Ray Scanner

A Portal Backscatter X-Ray Scanner is a drive-through or walk-through security inspection system that uses backscatter X-ray technology to create a detailed image of objects on the surface of a vehicle, container, or person. Unlike transmission X-ray, which sees through objects, backscatter detects radiation reflected back from surfaces, excelling at revealing organic materials (like drugs, explosives, plastics) and non-metallic threats hidden in door panels, upholstery, or on a person’s body. It is a key tool for customs, border security, and high-security facilities to detect concealed contraband and threats that traditional metal detectors and transmission X-rays might miss.

• Uses low-dose backscatter X-rays to image the surface of vehicles and objects.

• Highly effective at detecting organic materials, explosives, and drugs.

• Used in drive-through portals for vehicle screening and walk-through systems for personnel.

• Provides complementary data to transmission X-ray systems for a more complete inspection.

• A critical layer in layered security at borders, ports, and secure facilities.

• Enhances the ability to find non-metallic, concealed threats.
