Download or read book Airport Passenger Screening Using Backscatter X Ray Machines written by National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2016-01-10 with total page 203 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Passenger screening at commercial airports in the United States has gone through significant changes since the events of September 11, 2001. In response to increased concern over terrorist attacks on aircrafts, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) has deployed security systems of advanced imaging technology (AIT) to screen passengers at airports. To date (December 2014), TSA has deployed AITs in U.S. airports of two different technologies that use different types of radiation to detect threats: millimeter wave and X-ray backscatter AIT systems. X-ray backscatter AITs were deployed in U.S. airports in 2008 and subsequently removed from all airports by June 2013 due to privacy concerns. TSA is looking to deploy a second-generation X-ray backscatter AIT equipped with privacy software to eliminate production of an image of the person being screened in order to alleviate these concerns. This report reviews previous studies as well as current processes used by the Department of Homeland Security and equipment manufacturers to estimate radiation exposures resulting from backscatter X-ray advanced imaging technology system use in screening air travelers. Airport Passenger Screening Using Backscatter X-Ray Machines examines whether exposures comply with applicable health and safety standards for public and occupational exposures to ionizing radiation and whether system design, operating procedures, and maintenance procedures are appropriate to prevent over exposures of travelers and operators to ionizing radiation. This study aims to address concerns about exposure to radiation from X-ray backscatter AITs raised by Congress, individuals within the scientific community, and others.
Download or read book Recent Advances in Computed Tomography written by Robert Meyer and published by American Medical Publishers. This book was released on 2021-11-16 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An imaging procedure that involves the use of computer-processed combinations of many X-ray measurements is known as computed tomography or X-Ray CT. These X-ray measurements are taken from different angles in order to create cross-sectional images. The measurement focuses on specific areas of the scanned object. This technique is beneficial as it helps users to see inside the object without cutting. The most common application of X-ray computed tomography is medical imaging. Cross section images of this procedure are utilized for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes in various medical disciplines. Apart from X-ray CT, there are some other types of computed tomography such as positron emission tomography and single photon emission computed tomography. CT is also used in various other fields, such as nondestructive materials testing. It also has archaeological uses such as imaging the contents of sarcophagi and ceramics. This book contains some path-breaking studies in the field of computed tomography. It strives to provide a fair idea about this discipline and to help develop a better understanding of the latest advances within this field. The book is appropriate for students seeking detailed information in this area as well as for experts.
