The Rapiscan X-ray system must be collimated

for a good X-ray image to be generated. The
components to be adjusted include:

The position of the generator focal point.

The primary collimator sitting on the
generator.
The secondary collimator below the conveyor.
Array PCB carrier rails.

Good collimation and minimal X-ray leakage is

achieved when all four components sit on the
same plane.

Center of rotation

Center of rotation

Turning the primary collimator will allow the X-ray fan beam to cross the detector array. Since this crossing is
only a small area, the signal shows only as a localized peak. Turn the primary collimator to the opposite
position. If the peak shifts, this indicates that the centre of rotation is not on the detector array. Slide the X-
ray generator so that the centre of rotation shifts onto the array.

Center of rotation

When the centre of rotation is on the detector array, turning the primary collimator will not shift the centre of the peak in array
response. The general shape of peak will change but the peak should be at the same place vertically. The X-ray generator is
now in the correct place laterally. Rotate the primary collimator to get a good response across the whole array.
