X-ray Source 2.1 Imaging System Horizontal Detector Boom Figure 3. The Eagle C02 – X-ray Imaging System Rapiscan Eagle C02 Vertical Detector Boom X-ray Generator. The Eagle C02 uses a small focus X-ray tube and stable high voltage generator to generate a low-energy X-ray beam. The X-ray generator is heavily shielded and the beam tightly collimated into a fan shape, which minimizes radiation dose while maximizing beam intensity at the center of the object being scanned. The fan beam, illustrated in Figure 3, is oriented to inspect from the axle to the top of the vehicle without corner cutoff. Detector System. The Eagle C02’s detector system uses scintillating cadmium tungstate crystals mounted to a silicon photodiode to detect transmitted X-rays. The detectors and their electronics are organized in modules arranged in an L-shaped array. This design minimizes the X-ray generator-todetector distance while still enabling 100% inspection of the passing vehicle. The detector housing protects the detectors from environmental degradation. Doors provide easy access for servicing individual modules. The output from the detectors is sent to Rapiscan proprietary imaging electronics and then to the inspection workstation for display. Computer Hardware. The Eagle C02’s computer system is used to acquire the X-ray data, create the X-ray image, display and process the image and store and retrieve images from the database. It utilizes commercially available Windows PC workstations, which run the Rapiscan Cargo Viewer software. Highresolution, color flat-panel monitors display the X-ray image, the user interface controls and CCTV images from the scanner. There is a hard drive for data storage and a CD/DVD drive for data archiving. Images are displayed on the flat panel color monitor and printed on a color printer. Computer Software. Rapiscan’s Cargo Viewer software used on the Eagle C02 supports the entire cargo inspection process, including check-in, scanning and image evaluation. The inspector uses Cargo Viewer to view, process, evaluate and store the X-ray images. Cargo Viewer includes a comprehensive suite of image processing tools, including contrast and brightness adjustment, magnify/demagnify, edge enhancement, filters, and histogram functions. Features of interest in the image can be highlighted and annotated for future reference. Each of Rapiscan’s cargo and vehicle inspection products uses the same Cargo View software, so that trained inspectors can operate different Rapiscan scanners.
