2. Technical Principle and System Configuration&Structure
2.1 X-ray Imaging Principle
X-ray is a form of electromagnetic radiation, and it has shorter wavelength than visible light
so that it can penetrate objects and image inside structures and areas in a non-intrusive
way.
X-ray attenuation varies with object density and composition
When a beam of x-ray is projected toward an object, according to the density and
composition of the different areas of the object, a variation of x-ray transmitting
through the object are captured by detectors, and then the x-ray signals are
digitalized and reconstructed into a 2-dimentional x-ray image, which shows all the
superimposed structures inside the object. The following is a typical x-ray image of
baggage:

Black & white x-ray image

2.2 Dual-energy X-ray Imaging Technology and Material Classification
The dual-energy x-ray imaging technology is to separateamong object materials with

different atomic number (Z value) elements, and adds colour coding material composition
information to the traditional black & white x-ray image, which indicates only the shape of
an object.
Dual-energy x-ray image indicating material composition
In the above dual-energy x-ray image, materials with concentration of different Z elements
are classified and coded in different colours.
Colour Coding Materials Type Typical materials

Organic Hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen,
(Low Z elements) oxygen, carbohydrate
Mixtures and light metals Aluminum, sodium, silicon,
(Medium Z elements) chlorine, salt
Inorganic
Steel, copper, silver
(High Z elements)
For applying dual-energy x-ray imaging technology, the x-ray beams with two different
energy levels are used to irradiate an object, and then the ratio of x-ray attenuation for both

energy levels are processed by specific algorithm to acquire the Z values, which indicate
the material composition of all object areas.

When a scanned object is made with different material components, the calculated Z value
is the average atomic number of all components in the x-ray transmission path, which is
also called effective atomic number (Zeff).
2.3 Explosives & Narcotics Detection and Atomic Number Signatures
The dual-energy x-ray imaging technology is capable of improving substantially the

performance of explosives and narcotics detection, as they have Z value signatures
showed in the following diagram.
Z signatures of explosives and narcotics
There are some benign materials featuring the similar Z value region as explosives and
narcotics, as well as the acquired Z value of explosives and narcotics may also be affected
by overlapping with other bulk innocuous objects, so the dual-energy x-ray system will
surely give positive and negative false alarms.
2.4 Basic System Configuration&Structure

CX product is mainly built with x-ray generator, detector modules and data acquisition,
computer platform and Operating Inspection System (OIS) application,

main user interface consisting of monitors and special keyboard, mechanical and
conveying structures.
CX products basic configuration
2.4.1 X-ray Generator
The X-ray generator is used to generate x-rays, which will penetrate objects to image.
The most key component of an x-ray generator is the x-ray tube.The x-ray tube contains a
cathode, which directs a stream of electrons into a vacuum, and an anode, which collects
the electrons. The electrons are focused and accelerated by an electrical field in the x-ray
tube. When electrons collide with the anode, which is made of tungsten, part of the resulting
energy is emitted as X-rays, and the remaining energy is released as heat. An oil
recirculating system is necessary to cool the anode.
The X-ray generator applies the pulse-width-modulated technology, and it works by

controlling the voltage and current to the x-ray tube, and generates the x-rays of desired
energy and dose.

The x-ray generator is equipped with multiple self-protections and alarms capabilities, such
asOver Voltage Protection andOver Current Protection, which ensure the high stability and
reliability of the x-ray generator.
2.4.2 Detector Modules and Data Acquisition
Detector modules contain scintillators and photodiodes. The scintillators are used to
convert x-rays to visible lights, and the latter are turned to analog electric signals and
amplified.
All the detector modules are arrayed in L-shape and installed close to the tunnel, on the
opposite side of the x-ray generator, and cover the whole tunnel without blind cut-off areas.
The data acquisition collects the analog signals from all detector modules, and converts
them into digital signals, and then the digital data will be transferred to a computer for
processing.
2.4.3 Computer Platform and Operating Inspection System
The computer platform, working together with Operating Inspection System (OIS)
application, is the core in the CX product, and its main functions include:
➢ X-ray image reconstruction and enhancement processing.

➢ Image storage, query, review, general image conversion, print and export to USB
interface storage device, etc.
➢ User management, TIP and simulant training, diagnostic tools and other system
functions.
➢ Network capabilities and support.
The computer platform in CX product is applied with industrial PC (IPC), and it greatly

promotes the system reliability by using industrial level components and keeping stable
system configurations.
2.4.4 Main User Interface Devices
The main user-machine interface devices include monitors, special keyboards and mouse.
2.4.5 Mechanical and Conveying Structures
The mechanical and conveying structures are designed to make CX product image an
object in a line-scanning way, in a tunnel with lead curtains installed at both tunnel openings
for radiation protection.
Filtering by a collimator, the x-rays are focused to a beaming plane emitting at the object.
While the object moves across the beaming plane in a fixed speed along with the conveying
system, its image is constructed line by line.

4. Concept of Operations
4.1 X-ray Screening with Explosive & Narcotics Detection Aid
By x-ray screening, most threats like weapons and explosives detonators can be detected
by shape characteristic identification from the x-ray images by screeners, while bulk
explosives and narcotics can be marked automatically according to atomic number
signatures.
4.1.1 Threats Detection by Shape Characteristic Identification in X-ray Images
Analyzing x-ray images is the most effective way for detection of a wide range of threats,
which have their own shape characteristics.
An object usually seems different by reading from different views. If something in a

baggageis hard to be identified, turning and scanning the baggage in another projection
may be a better choice.

Good projection for identification Bad projection for identification
4.1.2 Explosives & Narcotics Automatic Detection by Atomic Number Signatures
By applying dual-energy x-ray imaging technology, the atomic number attribute of materials
can be acquired and used to find bulk explosives and narcotics, which usually have Z value
signatures different from benign materials.

4.5 Threat Image Projection (TIP)
4.5.1 TIP Overview
TIP is an OIS tool that inserts fictional images of threat items into baggage images when
the baggage is screened. For the screener operators, it seems the same as real threats
are inside the baggage, and whether the screener detects such threats with a response or
not will be recorded.
TIP function is designed to enhance threat detection performance of screeners by bring

the following key benefit:
➢ Keep screeners maintaining vigilance by increasing threat targets detection

experience.
➢ Expand screeners’ knowledge base by presenting images of a range of threat
types and items.
➢ The TIP response data of screeners has significant value for evaluating individual
performance, and providing guidance on training requirements.
4.5.2 TIP Response and Feedback
When the screener detect threats in the image, they must press a “marking” button on the
special keyboard, and the OIS will provide immediately feedback to the screener about the
accuracy of their response, to indicate a successful detection or a failed missing of
projected threat image.
The feedback to the screener’s TIP response is also necessary to avoid causing an
emergency disposal procedure due to mistaking fictional threats for real threats.

4.5.3 TIP Data Analysis and Report
All the TIP response data of the screener are recorded and can be queried and analyzed
by the administrator, to obtain the screener’s strengths and weakness in performance.
A TIP data report recording a variety of performance data over time is also available, and

3. Technical Principle and System Configuration&Structure
3.1 X-ray Imaging Principle
X-ray is a form of electromagnetic radiation, and it has shorter wavelength than visible light
so that it can penetrate objects and image inside structures and areas in a non-intrusive
way.
X-ray attenuation varies with object density and composition
When a beam of x-ray is projected toward an object, according to the density and
composition of the different areas of the object, a variation of x-ray transmitting
through the object are captured by detectors, and then the x-ray signals are
digitalized and reconstructed into a 2-dimentional x-ray image, which shows all the
superimposed structures inside the object. The following is a typical x-ray image of
baggage:
Black & white x-ray image

3.2 Dual-energy X-ray Imaging Technology and Material Classification
The dual-energy x-ray imaging technology is to separateamong object materials with

different atomic number (Z value) elements, and adds colour coding material composition
information to the traditional black & white x-ray image, which indicates only the shape of
an object.
Dual-energy x-ray image indicating material composition
In the above dual-energy x-ray image, materials with concentration of different Z elements
are classified and coded in different colours.
Colour Coding Materials Type Typical materials

Organic Hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen,
(Low Z elements) oxygen, carbohydrate
Mixtures and light metals Aluminum, sodium, silicon,
(Medium Z elements) chlorine, salt
Inorganic
Steel, copper, silver
(High Z elements)
For applying dual-energy x-ray imaging technology, the x-ray beams with two different
energy levels are used to irradiate an object, and then the ratio of x-ray attenuation for both

energy levels are processed by specific algorithm to acquire the Z values, which indicate
the material composition of all object areas.

When a scanned object is made with different material components, the calculated Z value
is the average atomic number of all components in the x-ray transmission path, which is
also called effective atomic number (Zeff).
3.3 Explosives & Narcotics Detection and Atomic Number Signatures
The dual-energy x-ray imaging technology is capable of improving substantially the

performance of explosives and narcotics detection, as they have Z value signatures
showed in the following diagram.
Z signatures of explosives and narcotics
There are some benign materials featuring the similar Z value region as explosives and
narcotics, as well as the acquired Z value of explosives and narcotics may also be affected
by overlapping with other bulk innocuous objects, so the dual-energy x-ray system will
surely give positive and negative false alarms.

3.4 Basic System Configuration&Structure

CX product is mainly built with x-ray generator, detector modules and data acquisition,
computer platform and Operating Inspection System (OIS) application, main user interface
consisting of monitors and special keyboard, mechanical and conveying structures.
CX products basic configuration
3.4.1 X-ray Generator
The X-ray generator is used to generate x-rays, which will penetrate objects to image.
The most key component of an x-ray generator is the x-ray tube.The x-ray tube contains a
cathode, which directs a stream of electrons into a vacuum, and an anode, which collects
the electrons. The electrons are focused and accelerated by an electrical field in the x-ray
tube. When electrons collide with the anode, which is made of tungsten, part of the resulting
energy is emitted as X-rays, and the remaining energy is released as heat. An oil
recirculating system is necessary to cool the anode.
The X-ray generator applies the pulse-width-modulated technology, and it works by

controlling the voltage and current to the x-ray tube, and generates the x-rays of desired
energy and dose.
The x-ray generator is equipped with multiple self-protections and alarms capabilities, such
asOver Voltage Protection andOver Current Protection, which ensure the high stability and
reliability of the x-ray generator.
3.4.2 Detector Modules and Data Acquisition
Detector modules contain scintillators and photodiodes. The scintillators are used to
convert x-rays to visible lights, and the latter are turned to analog electric signals and
amplified.
All the detector modules are arrayed in L-shape and installed close to the tunnel, on the
opposite side of the x-ray generator, and cover the whole tunnel without blind cut-off areas.
The data acquisition collects the analog signals from all detector modules, and converts
them into digital signals, and then the digital data will be transferred to a computer for
processing.
3.4.3 Computer Platform and Operating Inspection System
The computer platform, working together with Operating Inspection System (OIS)
application, is the core in the CX product, and its main functions include:
➢ X-ray image reconstruction and enhancement processing.

➢ Image storage, query, review, general image conversion, print and export to USB
interface storage device, etc.
➢ User management, TIP and simulant training, diagnostic tools and other system
functions.

➢ Network capabilities and support.
The computer platform in CX product is applied with industrial PC (IPC), and it greatly
promotes the system reliability by using industrial level components and keeping stable
system configurations.
3.4.4 Main User Interface Devices
The main user-machine interface devices include monitors, special keyboards and mouse.
3.4.5 Mechanical and Conveying Structures
The mechanical and conveying structures are designed to make CX product image an
object in a line-scanning way, in a tunnel with lead curtains installed at both tunnel openings
for radiation protection.
Filtering by a collimator, the x-rays are focused to a beaming plane emitting at the object.
While the object moves across the beaming plane in a fixed speed along with the conveying
system, its image is constructed line by line.

5. Concept of Operations
5.1 X-ray Screening with Explosive & Narcotics Detection Aid
By x-ray screening, most threats like weapons and explosives detonators can be detected
by shape characteristic identification from the x-ray images by screeners, while bulk
explosives and narcotics can be marked automatically according to atomic number
signatures.
5.1.1 Threats Detection by Shape Characteristic Identification in X-ray Images
Analyzing x-ray images is the most effective way for detection of a wide range of threats,
which have their own shape characteristics.
An object usually seems different by reading from different views. If something in a

baggageis hard to be identified, turning and scanning the baggage in another projection
may be a better choice.
Good projection for identification Bad projection for identification
Dual-view x-ray imaging systemprovidesboth vertical and horizontal views simultaneously,

so that it can give more efficient x-ray screening experience.

5.1.2 Explosives & Narcotics Automatic Detection by Atomic Number Signatures
