Source of X-Rays
•Two guns used in airport detectors•Low energy gun is equivalent to CAT scan source•High energy gun is stronger than used in a mammogram•Can either move the source or the object to be imagedSource: Kaufman and Carlson 2010

Compton ScatteringUc = K1pnf(E) gives the Compton coefficientRatio of penetration depths between two
output fluxes is given by x2 = x1 u2/u1ln(I2/I1)Penetration depth depends on energy,
intensity, and object density

Fooling the DetectorMonte Carlo simulation using parameters from
real detectorsCylindrical tissue represents the abdomenRan simulation four times:
No added material 160 g of added tissue 190 g of added TATP explosive 320 g of added PETN explosive
Formed cone of material 20 cm in diameter and 1 cm high at center

Health ConcernsAbout 1 μSv dose per exposure.This results in increased cancer risk of 10-7 per
round tripWith 1 billion exposures per year, the
population risk is no longer minimalMillimeter wave imaging, which is non-ionizing,
may provide a viable imaging alternative for airport security
