What is dual-energy technology?
Dual-energy transmission technology uses two X-ray energy levels to determine the atomic number of objects in the parcel and then colorizes the image based on material type. The dual-energy transmission X-ray easily detects metallic objects such as knives and guns. Gemini’s excellent transmission image quality allows the user to see fine details such as small wires that may be the components of an IED. In addition, dual-energy provides some information about material type especially in uncluttered environments.
