As customers evaluate upgrading their current explosives detection systems (EDS) to computed tomography (CT) technology, I often get asked to explain the differences between fixed versus rotating data acquisition CT EDS system (also referred to as fixed or rotating gantry).
Our own data, pulled from having more than 2,000 deployed CT EDS systems worldwide, suggests that the reliability of a well-designed X-ray system is actually independent of the gantry system moving or not. But to help ensure the best purchase decisions are being made, I encourage you to watch this short video featuring Cameron Ritchie, Smiths Detection’s Vice President, Engineering and Product Development & CIO and myself.
