The Viken Detection (formely Heuresis) HBI-120 is a rugged, ergonomic, handheld backscatter x-ray scanner instrument that enables users to quickly and cost-effectively find concealed explosives, narcotics and other contraband, even through 12- gauge (over 2 mm thick) steel — more than twice the thickness of typical motor-vehicle body panels — with none of the limitations of portable transmission x-ray systems. The HBI-120 weighs only 6.6 lbs. (3.0 kg) and images objects with a miniaturized, internal 120 keV x-ray generator that makes a raster-scanning pencil beam of x-rays to scan objects of interest. As the handheld HBI-120 is moved over the object, a 2- dimensional backscatter x-ray image of the object is displayed in real-time on HBI-120’s high-resolution transflective LCD touchscreen and saved in the instrument’s memory.
Older portable transmission x-ray systems require the x-ray source module and the detector module to be placed and aligned (with the source on one side of the object and the detector on the other side) before an x-ray image can be taken. Sometimes it is not possible to place the source and detector where they are needed to produce a good transmission x-ray image; and it is not possible to take transmission x-ray images close to ground.
