Abstract:
Imaging systems and methods are provided for detecting objects that may be hidden under clothing, ingested, inserted, or otherwise concealed on or in a person's body. An imaging assembly, e.g., X-ray source and X-ray detector, and mechanisms, e.g., a translational mechanism for vertically moving the imaging assembly, may be configured to reduce the overall form factor of such imaging systems, while still retaining an ability to perform full/complete imaging of a subject.

Claim (Index 12):
A method, comprising:\n receiving a user input via a controller configured to initiate an imaging process; establishing geometric alignment between an X-ray source configured to emit an X-ray beam and an X-ray detector configured to detect the X-ray beam emitted by the X-ray source, the X-ray detector and the X-ray source being joined by a connecting member such that the X-ray detector and the X-ray source remain in optical alignment for the X-ray detector to receive the X-ray beam during the imaging process; and independently and vertically translating the X-ray source and the X-ray detector, such that the X-ray source is translated within a first vertical path having a first height range and the X-ray detector is translated within a second vertical path having a second height range, wherein the second height range exceeds the first height range.
