Backscatter X-ray is an advanced X-ray imaging technology. Unlike a traditional X-ray machine, which relies on transmission of X-rays through the object, backscatter X-ray device detects the radiation that reflects from the object and forms an image. These devices have been designed to improve security forces 'VISION' through greater depth image performance.
