Abstract

See full text

Apparatus for imaging items behind a concealing barrier. A source of penetrating radiation is contained entirely within a housing. A spatial modulator forms the penetrating radiation into a beam and sweeps the beam to irradiate an inspected object. A detector generates a scatter signal based on penetrating radiation scattered by contents of the inspected object, and a sensor senses motion relative to a previous position of the apparatus with respect to the inspected object. A processor receives the scatter signal and generates an image of the contents of the inspected object based at least on the scatter signal. The housing may be adapted for singled-handed retention by an operator
