Using private funding and a US Government contract, The Chertoff Group subsequently teamed with Integrated Defense and Security Solutions (IDSS) to develop a solution based on Open Architecture DICOS imaging standards utilizing this patented technology, allowing access and interoperability with any checkpoint or checked baggage computed tomography (CT) system located anywhere in the world.
CT X-ray technology is derived from the medical space and used to find threats to aviation. CT systems take a series of x-ray images of a travelers bag, and electronically stitches them together into a high-resolution three-dimensional rendering.
