Baggage Inspection

eV-CZT Linear Detector Array
  • UP to 5 photon energy bins
  • Uniform pixel-to-pixel x-ray response
  • Wide x-ray energy range
  • High Photon energy resolution
  • Multispectral imaging capability for scanner applications
  • High-flux operation (up to 2 Mcounts/sec per channel)
  • Room temperature operation
ABIS: Key Features
  • Multiple rather than dual energy imaging (DEXA)
  • Fast photon counting instead of current mode photodiode array detection
  • Real-time, full-volume baggage scanning
  • Computer Tomography with no moving sources or detectors
  • Automated material recognition
  • High throughput (up to 1,200 bags per hour)
  • Neural-network learning enhanced detection accuracy for drugs, agricultural products, other contraband
