The question then becomes, how to continue delivering a high level of customer service, while providing similarly high levels of security. A recent article in [Aviation Security International Magazine](https://www.asi-mag.com/wp-content/mag/flipbooks/ASI-1612-DIGITAL/#Aviation_Security_International_Magazine/page20-page21) provides insights from Monty Lutzker, our Vice President of Sales and Marketing.

But when doctors need a more comprehensive view to detect cancer or examine small and complex fractures, what do they use? They turn to the cross-sectional and 3-dimensional (3-D) images generated during a Computed Tomography (CT) scan. The same theory holds true for CT explosives detection systems (EDS).
