Abstract: In one embodiment, the present invention provides a CT scanner system for use in baggage screening at security checkpoints.

Abstract: A system and method for baggage screening at security checkpoints. A CT scanner system processes x-ray data to locate and eliminate non-contraband without a full CT reconstruction of the entire bag. The CT scanner system utilizes lineogram data to disqualify objects of insufficient size, density, or mass as potential threats. Objects can be inspected with CT reconstruction. The CT scanner is capable of obtaining CT data and projection images. Multiple CT scanning systems can be multiplexed together, and each CT scanning system is in communication with a review station. Baggage scanning may also be based on security intelligence inputs such as CAPPS to increase throughput.

Abstract: A system and method for viewing, analyzing, and marketing an object over the Internet is provided. An object is scanned using computer tomography (CT) to produce scan data that includes density distribution information and can be used to understand the internal composition of the object. Using a reconstruction technique, scan data is reconstructed to render images of the scanned object. The reconstructed images are individually selected or grouped to provide one or more marketing presentations that include information about various internal features of the scanned object. The marketing presentations are made available for viewing on an Internet web site. The web site includes interactive tools. A user may use different user interface devices to cause the system to display various aspects of the object, evaluate the object, or to calculate an optimal cut solution for the object.
