1. A screening system for screening an item, the screening system comprising:
a detection apparatus comprising an emitter portion to generate a primary beam of ionising radiation and a detector portion to detect an absorption signal and at least one of a diffraction signal and a scattering signal; wherein the primary beam is a conical shell beam of ionising radiation; the screening system further comprising
a rotatable platform adapted to receive the item; and
a mechanical arrangement adapted to translate the detection apparatus along a translation axis to scan the item with the primary beam;
wherein the translation axis is substantially parallel to a surface of the rotatable platform;
wherein the rotatable platform is rotatable around a rotational axis;
wherein the primary beam has a characteristic propagation axis; and
wherein the rotational axis is substantially parallel to the characteristic propagation axis.
