Fast online x-ray inspection

A suitcase, a mail parcel, a car tire, a trash can — any of them could contain an explosive device, weapon or other hidden hazard. SAIC’s RTR-4 digital x-ray system lets you look inside, quickly and safely.

A powerful, versatile system

The RTR-4 system is designed to help law enforcement, military, customs and security personnel search for explosives, weapons, narcotics and other contraband. The system can reveal the contents of parcels, baggage, boxes and crates, vehicle tires and body panels, aircraft walls and wings, building walls, and many other targets.

The RTR-4 system can be a valuable aid in assessing and defusing improvised explosive devices (IEDs) and unexploded ordnance (UXO) by helping personnel evaluate objects from a safe distance and identify the best method for disposal. The system can also be an effective tool for non-destructive inspection of hardware components, assemblies and structures.

Designed for use in the field

The RTR-4 system consists of a lightweight, compact x-ray source and imaging unit that are positioned on opposite sides of the target object, plus a standard notebook computer for controlling the system and analyzing images. The control computer is connected to the imager by an Ethernet cable or optional wireless connection.

The system is fully digital for fast viewing, no image degradation, and easy image analysis and management — far superior to film and analog systems.

The RTR-4 system is designed for a use in a wide range of field scenarios. The system can be used in tight quarters, right down to ground level. With a total weight of just 12 kg (26 lbs), the x-ray source and imager are easy to move into position by hand, and can be mounted on bomb-disposal robots for remote operation.

Key features

• High-resolution digital images through more than 25 mm (1 inch) of steel

• Fully digital imaging for fast viewing with no image degradation — superior to film and analog systems

• Lightweight, compact design for easy use and transport

• Available with wireless control for added safety

• Powerful software for analyzing and managing images

• Many optional features and accessories available for special applications

Powerful and portable

The RTR-4 system is designed for easy use in the field. The standard system includes these components:

X-ray source. The standard 150 kVp source can penetrate more than 25mm (1 inch) of steel, with a beam angle of 40 degrees for up-close operation. A more powerful 300 kVp source is also available.

Imager. The standard imaging unit provides high-resolution images up to 20 x 25cm (8 x 10 in). A larger imager with an area of 40 x 56 cm (16 x 22 in) is also available.

Control computer. A standard notebook computer provides system control and image analysis. A rugged Toughbook® computer is also available. SAIC’s powerful database and image-analysis software is available in many languages.

The system comes in a rugged, padded case on wheels for easy transport (total weight 34 kg (76 lbs)). A backpack carrier for the key components is available.

Features for analyzing images

The system provides a variety of features to bring out items of interest in x-ray images, including zoom, pseudo-color, contrast stretch, edge detection and sharpening, smoothing, embossing, and histogram equalization. These features can be applied to the entire image or just to a specific region of interest.

The system also provides multi-image display, grid overlay, point-to-point distance measurement, and annotation. For data integrity, the system’s image-enhancement features do not affect the original image files.

Images are stored as standard TIFF files in the system database on the control computer. Video, audio, text and other data can be stored along with each image. Individual images and accompanying data can easily be retrieved from the database for later review, emailing or other uses.

The RTR-4 system includes a compact x-ray source and imaging unit and a notebook computer for system control and image analysis.

The RTR-4 system provides many features for analyzing images, including pseudocolor, contrast stretch, embossing, multi-image display, and enhancement of a specific region of interest.
