Better security starts with better technologies. Our X-ray inspection and radiation detection technologies drive the screening systems that can detect a multitude of threats and contraband.
Our proven technologies create the most comprehensive inspection systems in the marketplace.
We follow extraordinary safety procedures and rigorously adheres to standards designed to govern X-ray scanners for security applications, including ANSI, EURATOM, and ICRP. We also use independent organizations to certify that products meet the applicable radiation standards.
Transmission X-ray Technology
Transmission X-rays provide high-energy with high-performance for greater penetration and detection—even in dense cargo. Dual-energy transmission X-rays deliver excellent image quality as well as the ability to discriminate among different material types. Learn More
Z Backscatter X-ray Technology
Z Backscatter® technology, pioneered by Rapiscan and our affiliates, provides photo-like images that reveal organic threats and contraband, including explosives, plastic weapons, and drugs. Learn More
Complementary X-ray Technology
The combination of transmission and Z Backscatter imaging provides complementary information for improved manifest verification and threat detection. With multiple views and technologies that deliver high-resolution images with fine detail alongside images that provide shape and form and highlight organic threats, operators get a comprehensive view of the contents of the vehicle or cargo under inspection.

Watch how transmission and Z Backscatter X-ray technologies work when scanning cargo and vehicles — and how they complement each other to uncover more threats and contraband.
Radiation Detection Technology
Our best-in-class gamma and neutron radiation detection technology detects, locates, and identifies radioactive sources, exceeding the strict requirements demanded by today’s security professionals tasked with border, nuclear, industrial, public, or national protection. Learn More
Optical Inspection Technology
Our intelligent optical inspection systems help to identify and authenticate vehicles and occupants, and locate anomalies in the vehicle undercarriage. With over 1,500 installations in more than 30 countries, our Gatekeeper product line helps to protect people and property at military installations, government agencies, borders, and critical infrastructure, keeping travelers and cargo moving efficiently while providing enhanced security.
