  • Folded array CT baggage scanner
    Patent number: 7440537
    Abstract: A reduced size CT scanner for baggage inspection has a wide angle x-ray source and multiple sets of detectors at different distances from the x-ray source. The detectors in each set are sized and positioned to maintain consistent pitch and flux levels among all detectors. Conventional reconstruction processes can be used to process the data from the CT scanner. The scanner may also be incorporated into a check-in desk in a network of scanners.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 17, 2006
    Date of Patent: October 21, 2008
    Assignee: Reveal Imaging Technologies, Inc.
    Inventors: Michael Ellenbogen, Richard Robehr Biijani
  • System and method for CT scanning of baggage
    Patent number: 7333589
    Abstract: The threat determination process for CT scan of baggage eliminates the need for complete reconstruction the bag. The CT scan data is analyzed during scanning to locate potential threats. The analysis is based upon a lineogram representing objects in the bag. The mass, size, location and atomic number of objects are determined based upon the lineogram data. Any potential threats are further subjected to data modification and reconstruction to enhance the view of the potential threat. Dual energy scanning may also be used to determine density for resolution of potential threats.
