ASTROPHYSICS MULTI-VIEW 3D CT CARGO SYSTEM
THE ASTROPHYSICS MULTI-VIEW CT IS THE WORLD’S FIRST 3D CT CARGO SYSTEM
PRODUCT INFORMATION
The Multi-View CT is a disruptive technology and a significant advance in cargo inspection and security screening. Combining radiography and computed tomography, it allows freight forwarders, airlines, and government agencies to perform rapid and effective cargo inspections, for the ultimate in imaging detection.
450kV Generator: The Multi-View CT is equipped with a 450kV generator capable of penetrating more than 100 mm of steel, 2x a conventional cargo system.
Multiple-View Mode: A single pass through the Multi-View CT produces 7 x-ray images, each from a different and distinct angle. Scanning only 1 pass (7 images) can process up to 60 pallets per hour, 4x a conventional cargo system. Multiple passes can produce up to 35 images, for a 360° inspection.
Computed Tomography (CT) Mode: To inspect complex, cluttered, and even non-homogeneous cargo, the Multi-View CT can combinedata from up to 5 multi-view passes to construct a 3D CT image. Operators can rotate the image on screen, for a full 360° view. CT screening can process up to 20 pallets per hour.
Unparalleled Image Quality: The singular combination of radiography and tomography offers an unprecedented level of detail and resolution. The clarity of the images allows operators to identify threats anywhere on the pallet with almost perfect precision and accuracy.
The Astrophysics Multi-View CT™ is the world’s first 3D CT Cargo System. Combining multi-view radiography and high-speed computed tomography, it allows airlines, freight forwarders, and customs agencies to perform rapid and effective cargo inspections.
Equipped with a powerful generator, the Multi-View CT™ delivers twice the power of conventional cargo systems. Operators can generate dozens of viewing angles of a single pallet, using Astrophysics’ unique algorithms to reconstruct the views into a single 3D image that allows operators to examine the cargo from all angles. This singular combination of radiography, tomography, and imaging power makes it easy to locate suspicious items with near perfect accuracy anywhere on a pallet.
