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.
Market Dynamics
