Introduction

Welcome to Anritsu Industrial Solutions X‐Ray 101 Presentation.

We are pleased that you are interested in learning more about x‐ray technology and how the
installation of an x‐ray system can help you protect your brand and ultimately protect the
consumer.

Food safety and quality is always a major component of a food manufacturer’s vision statement.
Producing low quality, tainted products can and will be the demise of a food processor and could
lead to expensive lawsuits and recalls when contaminants are found within a product. Packaging
anomalies can create many consumer complaints and result in the loss of brand integrity and
profitability. There are various technologies available to protect your interests from various
consumer claims and many technologies are complements to each other. A fully managed food
safety plan includes the use of various technologies under the watchful eye of a solid HACCP or
quality control plan managed by the quality control team and ultimately understood and
accepted by the entire organization.

X‐Ray Principles and Theory 101

X‐Rays rays are generated electronically and do not


create any radioactivity. When the power source is
eliminated, the tube does not generate x‐rays.

As indicated, the machine generates a small slice of x‐


rays that is measured by the linear array detector
under the belt and product. Smaller diodes generate
better image resolution and data and therefore allows
for better detection of contaminants and image
analysis. As product passes through this beam, the
detector measures the density of the product at
specific point per the amount of xray blocked by the
product itself. When a contaminant is darker than
the product because it blocks more x‐ray light, it is
highlighted and rejected from the production line.

sales@us.anritsu‐industry.com
X‐Ray Principles and Theory ‐ Basic

X‐Rays The image to the left represents the data of a single


slice of the product as it passes through the beam.
The lower the curve is to the 0% level of the graph,
Block of Cheese
the more dense it is and the fewer x‐rays that we
with a contaminant
and a void area received by the detector.

In simple terms, basic thresholds are established


indicating what is classified as a good grayscale value
versus and a bad grayscale value. The dark spike
below the contaminant detection threshold indicates
a dense contaminant as compared to the product
itself.

Missing items thresholds can also be established.

The following slides improves upon this basic concept


by using various and simultaneous imaging
techniques.

www.detectionperfection.com
sales@us.anritsu‐industry.com
X‐Ray Principles and Theory ‐ Complex

When all of the individual slices are placed


back to back, a virtual 3‐D density image is
created on x and y coordinates created by
each .4mm diode across the detector width.
Slices are created and placed together at
rates greater than 2500 times per second.

Proprietary software techniques and then


applied to the imaging data to focus in on
various criteria.

These techniques allow the analysis and detection of various densities, shapes, sizes and grayscales to
pinpoint low density contaminants, small high density contaminants, small wires, large conglomerates and
other anomalies such as missing items, underweight conditions and mis‐packaged products. Additional
techniques are used to look for small wires hidden in products that are particulate or variable in density.

Electronically Generated X‐Rays

Cabinet x‐ray systems generate x‐rays electronically via an x‐ray tube.


This tube is a light bulb that is under vacuum and produces low energy x‐rays.
This is not a source generated x‐ray such as an isotope.
This type of x‐ray technology cannot make anything radioactive.
When the tube is OFF, x‐rays are OFF just like a light bulb.

CABINET X‐RAY FAQs

Q1: What is a cabinet x‐ray system?


A1: A cabinet x‐ray system is an x‐ray system installed in an enclosure. The enclosure is intended to protect people from the x‐rays generated and to
exclude people from the enclosure’s interior. Cabinet x‐ray systems are primarily use dfor security screening and industrial quality control.
Security applications range from screening baggage at an airport to examining whole trucks at the border. Industrial quality control applications
include the x‐ray examination of foods, circuit boards, and tires. Some cabinet x‐ray systems are also medical devices, such as a cabinet x‐ray
system used for analysis of tissue samples in a medical laboratory.

Q2: What are other common names for cabinet x‐ray systems?
A2: Other common names for cabinet x‐ray systems are X‐ray Inspection Systems, X‐ray Screening Systems, X‐ray Security Systems, and Baggage X‐ray
Systems. The words inspection, screening, security, and baggage might also be used interchangeably with or in addition to the description of a
cabinet x‐ray system.

Q3: Which agency has responsibility for assuring that manufacturers produce cabinet x‐ray systems that do not pose a radiation safety hazard?
A3: The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has responsibility for assuring manufacturers produce cabinet x‐ray systems that do not pose a radiation
safety hazard. For most electronic products that emit radiation, safety regulation is divided between FDA and state regulatory agencies. Typically,
FDA regulates the manufacture of the products and the states regulate the use of the products. For further information on FDA regulations that
apply to manufacturers of electronic products that emit radiation (such as a cabinet x‐ray system) see the FDA web site
(http://www.fda.gov/cdrh/comp/eprc.html).

Q4: What other Federal Agencies are involved in radiation safety when the source of the radiation is an x‐ray
product?
A4: The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is responsible for issuing general radiation guidance to Federal Agencies. Additionally, basic
information about radiation is available on the EPA web site (http://www.epa.gov/radiation/index.html). The US Occupational Health and Safety
Administration (OSHA) has regulations on worker safety from radiation in the workplace (http://www.osha.gov).

Q5: Is it safe to stand or walk near a cabinet x‐ray system while it is producing x‐rays?
A5: Yes. Manufacturers are required to certify that their products meet the Federal radiation safety performance standard for cabinet x‐ray systems.
Specifically, the standard requires that the radiation emitted from a cabinet x‐ray system not exceed an exposure of 0.5 milliroentgens in one hour
at any point five centimeters from the external surface. Most cabinet x‐ray systems emit less than this limit. In addition, the standard also requires
safety features that include warning lights, warning labels, and interlocks. For comparison, the average person in the United States receives a
dose of about 360 millirem of radiation per year from background radiation. (Note: 1 milliroentgen of exposure to x‐rays will result in
approximately 1 millirem of dose. These terms are defined later in this document.) Background radiation is radiation that is always present in the
environment. Eighty percent of that exposure comes from natural sources: radon gas, the human body, outer space, rocks, and soil. The remaining
20 percent comes from man‐made radiation sources, primarily medical x rays. For additional information on certification and labeling, see Title 21
Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 1010. For the details of the cabinet x‐ray performance standard see Title 21 CFR 1020.40. For further
information on recommended limits of radiation exposure, we recommend the National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements
Report 116, Limitation of Exposure to Ionizing Radiation (1993).

CABINET X‐RAY FAQs

Q6: Is it safe for pregnant women to stand or walk near a cabinet x‐ray system while it is producing x‐rays?
A6: Yes. The limit on radiation emission established by the performance standard is sufficiently restrictive that
there is no additional hazard for specific populations such as children or pregnant women.

Q7: Are the operators of cabinet x‐ray systems required to wear a “radiation badge”?
A7: Personnel monitoring equipment is not required by Federal regulation for operators of cabinet x‐ray
systems. It is possible that some state regulations or the policies of the operators’ employer require use
of personnel monitoring equipment. Personnel monitoring equipment means devices designed to be
worn or carried by an individual for the purrpose of measuring a radiation dose received (e.g. film
badges, pocket dosimeters, film rings, etc.). For more information, please see the OSHA regulations
found in Title 29 CFR 1910.1096(d) Precautionary procedures and personal monitoring and contact OSHA.
The OSHA regulations are based on the amount of radiation that a worker can receive in a specific area
from all radiation sources. The Federal limit on cabinet x‐ray system emissions ensures the maximum
possible exposure from cabinet x‐ray systems in the workplace will always fall below the minimum
threshold where personnel monitoring might be required.

Q8: Is it safe to eat my lunch if it went through a cabinet x‐ray system?


A8: There are no known adverse effects from eating food that has been irradiated by a cabinet x ray system
used for security screening. The radiation dose typically received by objects scanned by a cabinet x‐ray
system is 1 millirad or less. The average dose rate from background radiation is 360 millirad per year. The
minimum dose used in food irradiation for food preservation or destruction of parasites or pathogens is
www.detectionperfection.com
30,000 rad. For further information on the limits on radiation used for food inspection or food irradiation
