Hands-off Screening

The Rapiscan Secure 1000 is a effective and comprehensive people screening solution. The images produced by the system enable the operator to easily identify concealed threat items. The backscatter technique utilized in the system provides high resolution images of both organic (e.g. explosives, narcotics, ceramic weapons) and inorganic (e.g. metal) items. With this technology an image is produced as a result of Compton Scattering; meaning when the emitted beam contacts a material, it is "scattered back" toward the system.

This information is received by high resolution detectors and is passed to image processing software which creates a display on the video monitor for operator analysis. The company has also developed techniques to protect the privacy of the person being screened while enabling effective detection of threat items. In a recent study, 19 out of 20 persons preferred the company’s screening solution to an invasive pat-down physical search. The system is safe and exceeds the requirements of health authorities worldwide.
