Development of the body scan system with backscattered X-rays

2006 
Considerable attention has been focused on digital X-ray systems with transmission. However, only a few attempts have been made using X-ray backscatter systems. This study developed a Data Acquisition System (DAS) for backscattered X-rays. The imaging system used X-ray backscatter at low energy levels, which has unique advantages in terms of acquiring information that cannot be obtained using the transmission system. Such systems are of potential benefit in the medical, industrial, security and military fields because of its practical benefits and the low doses used. The developed system is a body scan system. Experiments were carried out using a wire stripper on the polyethylene, which produces results similar to those obtained using the human body during X-ray testing.
