SENTINEL CT
Fixed-Gantry CT Baggage Screening
The uniXSCAN SENTINEL CT is a high-performance computed tomography screening system designed for advanced inspection of baggage and parcels in security critical environments. The system uses a fixed-gantry architecture that eliminates rotating components, reducing mechanical complexity while improving system reliability, uptime, and maintenance efficiency.
Unlike conventional CT systems, the uniXSCAN SENTINEL CT integrates multiple interlaced X-ray generators and detector arrays that scan from different angles to create high-resolution 3D volumetric reconstructions. This multi-axis scanning approach enables operators to analyze the internal structure of baggage in detail and detect concealed threats with high accuracy.
The system supports detection of explosives, liquids, and other prohibited materials using advanced imaging and analytical methods. Its design is optimized for high-throughput checkpoint environments, enabling efficient and reliable screening operations across airports, border crossings, government facilities, and critical infrastructure.
