Results for tag: "Handheld Backscatter X Ray Devices"

Handheld backscatter X-ray devices are part of the radiography equipment industry, providing a portable imaging solution that enables security personnel and inspectors to quickly and effectively scan objects and surfaces for concealed threats and contraband. These devices work by emitting X-rays that scatter upon contact with various materials, with the backscattered X-rays providing a clear, real-time image of the scanned area. Their portability makes handheld backscatter units particularly useful in a range of environments where traditional, stationary X-ray systems are impractical. The handheld devices serve important roles in law enforcement, border control, and security operations at critical infrastructure such as airports, government buildings, and public events. Furthermore, they contribute to non-destructive testing (NDT) and quality control processes in various industries, acting as a tool for detecting structural flaws or internal defects in manufactured goods and infrastructure. Companies in the market that specialize in handheld backscatter X-ray technology include American Science and Engineering, Inc., which produces the MINI Z® system; Rapiscan Systems with their handheld devices designed for security applications; Viken Detection, known for their HBI-120 handheld imaging system; and Thermo Fisher Scientific, which offers the TruNarc™ Handheld Narcotics Analyzer, demonstrating versatility of these devices in detecting both security threats and chemical composition.
