Abstract:
The present invention provides a four-sided scanning system for vehicles that uses a combination of backscatter and transmission based X-ray imaging to achieve material discrimination. In one embodiment, the system is designed as a mobile, drive-through system, which can be folded and stowed in a truck and can be conveniently deployed at any place when required.

Claim (Index 11):
A method for inspecting a vehicle, comprising:\n providing a portal defining an inspection area, said portal comprising a first vertical side, a second vertical side, a top horizontal side, and a horizontal base defined by a ramp adapted to be driven over by a vehicle, signalling a vehicle to drive over the ramp, irradiating a vehicle with X-rays from a first source disposed on one side of the portal, detecting the X-rays transmitted through the vehicle, using transmission detectors disposed within the portal, to produce a first output signal representative of the vehicle and contents thereof, irradiating the underside of the vehicle with X-rays from a second source disposed within the ramp, detecting X-rays scattered back from the vehicle, using backscatter detectors disposed within the ramp, to produce a second output signal representative of the vehicle and contents thereof, and correlating said first output signal and said second output signal to produce a visual image of the vehicle and contents thereof.
