ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and method for non-destructively detecting and identifying narcotics, explosives, and other forms of contraband concealed within a container or otherwise hidden from view. A radioactive source is used in conjunction with both neutron and gamma ray detector arrays. Depending upon the desired accuracy as well as the accessibility to all sides of the container, both back scattered and forward scattered radiation can be measured. Multiple detection systems mounted along different axes allow pseudo three dimensional images of the container in question as well as its contents to be produced.
