Portable Computed Radiography X‑ray System

The ScanX Scout Kit is a fully portable computed radiography (CR) X‑ray system that lets EOD, search and forensic teams see inside everything from small parcels to vehicle panels in minutes. Using thin, flexible phosphor storage plates and a rugged, battery‑powered image plate reader, ScanX Scout delivers high‑resolution digital images down to around 50 microns with a resolution of at least 5 line pairs per millimetre (lp/mm).

ScanX Scout is quick to deploy, easy to operate and tough enough for daily use. It gives bomb technicians, law enforcement, customs and security professionals the detailed X‑ray information they need to make fast, confident decisions on the spot.

Key benefits

• Truly portable CR system: Rugged image plate reader with internal rechargeable battery and flexible plates – no glass DR panel to crack and no detector cables to manage at the target.
• High‑resolution images: Produces images with pixel sizes from roughly 130 microns down to 50 microns and ≥5 lp/mm resolution, revealing fine wires and electronic components clearly./li>
• Fast set‑up; acquisition: System can be unloaded, positioned, exposed and scanned in less than two minutes; plates are read and erased in a single pass in under one minute.
• Flexible plates for awkward spaces: Ultra‑thin digital plates slide into narrow gaps, wrap around curved objects and can be combined to cover large surfaces such as vehicle sides or long items.
• Battery operation for field work: The internal 24 V battery runs the scanner for up to around four hours – enough for approximately thirty 14″ × 17″ plates – with mains power available when required.
• Reusable, low‑cost plates: Plates can typically be reused hundreds of times and are automatically erased during scanning, reducing consumable cost compared to wet film.

Typical applications

• IED search and investigation of parcels, luggage, mail and unattended bags.
• VBIED work and vehicle search – tyres, wheel arches, quarter panels, fuel tanks and body cavities.
• Forensic investigations, weapons exploitation and post‑blast analysis.
• Contraband detection in cargo, freight and postal environments.
• Inspection of artefacts, artworks and industrial components where portable NDT is required.
