Abstract

An x-ray screening apparatus having particular use in examining and inspecting luggage and baggage in airport environments is described, the screening apparatus comprising at least one x-ray source, at least one x-ray detector and a sampling volume, e.g. luggage, disposed between the source and the detector. The apparatus is configured such that the at least one detector is able to receive radiation from the at least one source, which radiation has passed through each spatially resolvable volume element within the sampling volume at at least two different angles of incidence, and in which at least two of the source, detector and sampling volume are relatively displaceable so as to enable fully independent relative displacement of each of the source, detector and sampling volume. Interpretation of the detected radiation allows stereoscopic images of the sampling volume to be constructed, providing depth information relating to items within the sampling volume.
