  • Publication number: 20160341847
    Abstract: The present specification describes security systems for screening threats contained on persons, and more specifically, to an integrated detection system that is highly portable and that employs Enhanced Metal Detection (EMD) along with Advanced Imaging Technology (using backscatter X-ray scanning) to achieve Automated Threat Recognition (ATR) improvements. In particular, the present specification describes a modular inspection system for detecting objects carried by or on a human subject that includes a plurality of sections having an X-ray source, two backscatter X-ray detector panels and at least one metal detector panel; a first strapping means to hold together two of the plurality of sections that are folded and form a portable first case; and a second strapping means to hold together two of the plurality of sections that are folded and form a portable second case such that the first and second cases can be wheeled to and from a checkpoint.
