Method And Apparatus For Transmitting Information About A Target Object Between A Prescanner And A Ct Scanner
US Patent:
6788761, Sep 7, 2004
Filed:
Nov 6, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/702362
Inventors:
Richard R. Bijjani - Westford MA
Richard F. Eilbert - Lincoln MA
Richard F. Eilbert - Lincoln MA
Assignee:
L-3 Communications Security and Detection Systems Corporation Delaware - Woburn MA
International Classification:
G01N 2304
US Classification:
378 57, 378 4, 378 19
Abstract:
A method or apparatus for analyzing an object includes an X-ray prescanner that performs a prescan of the object to determine prescan information about the object. Then, a CT scanner performs a CT scan on at least one plane of the object based on the prescan information to determine CT information. In one embodiment, if the CT scan of the object includes or is in the vicinity of metal, then metal artifact correction of a constructed image from the CT scan is performed based on the prescan information. In another embodiment, a processor analyzes the CT information and the prescan information to determine whether to update the prescan information based on the CT information.

Contraband Detection Systems Using A Large-Angle Cone Beam Ct System
US Patent:
7324625, Jan 29, 2008
Filed:
May 27, 2005
Appl. No.:
11/139193
Inventors:
Richard F. Eilbert - Lincoln MA, US
Assignee:
L-3 Communications Security and Detection Systems, Inc. - Woburn MA
International Classification:
G01N 23/10
G01N 23/087
G01N 23/087
US Classification:
378 57, 378 989
Abstract:
A contraband detection system using a cone beam computed tomography scanner. The cone beam scanner allows for rapid acquisition of data for computing three dimensional density maps of objects within items under inspection. Where greater resolution is desired, the image information obtained with the cone beam computed tomography scanner may be combined with higher resolution images formed with a single view scanner. A multi-energy single view scanner may be used to additionally provide information on the effective atomic number of objects contained within items under inspection. Additionally, information obtained with the cone beam computed tomography scanner may be used to increase the accuracy of the computation of the effective atomic number of objects within the item under inspection.
X-Ray Imaging Technique
US Patent:
7369642, May 6, 2008
Filed:
Apr 20, 2004
Appl. No.:
10/554272
Inventors:
Richard F. Eilbert - Lincoln MA, US
Alan R. Sieving - Waltham MA, US
Alan R. Sieving - Waltham MA, US
Assignee:
L-3 Communications and Security Detection Systems Inc. - Woburn MA
International Classification:
G01N 23/04
US Classification:
378 57, 378 62, 378 87
Abstract:
A security system for detecting contraband such as explosives. The system has a source of radiation and a detector array. A detector array is made of many small detectors, each with a fast response time. The fast response time allows individual radiation photon interactions with each detector to be counted. By counting the number of interactions in an interval of time, the amount of radiation reaching the detector can be measured. The magnitude of the response from the detector to each radiation interaction allows measurement of the energy level of the photons interacting with the detector. Such a system provides significant flexibility in analyzing data collected from items under inspection. For example, objects such as contraband can be identified within the item under inspection by processing the data to accurately determine both the density and type of material.
Methods And Apparatus For E-Beam Scanning
US Patent:
7428297, Sep 23, 2008
Filed:
Jul 5, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/481322
Inventors:
Richard Franklin Eilbert - Lincoln MA, US
Assignee:
L-3 Communications Security and Detection Systems, Inc. - Woburn MA
International Classification:
H05G 1/02
H05G 1/52
H05G 1/70
H05G 1/52
H05G 1/70
US Classification:
378134, 378 9, 378 10, 378 92, 378 986, 378137
Abstract:
In one aspect, an x-ray scanning device is provided. The x-ray scanning device comprises a target adapted to convert electron-beam (e-beam) energy into x-ray energy, a detector array positioned to detect at least some x-rays emitted from the target, and a conveyer mechanism adapted to convey items to be inspected through an inspection region formed by the target and the detector array, wherein the target and the detector array are rotated out of alignment with each other such that x-rays emitted from the target impinge on diametrically positioned detectors of the detector array without passing through near-side detectors of the detector array.
