GE InVision, Inc. CTX products are protected by U.S. patents: 6,430,255; 5,182,764; 5,367,552, and D574706, as well as patents pending.

Born of the knowledge gained from more than ten years of field operation, the CTX 9000 DSi system incorporates practical and innovative features designed to withstand the rigorous airport environment.

The CTX 9000 DSi system represents valuable technological changes to GE's proven family of EDS. The system's architecture utilizes modular components, which can make the scanner easy to upgrade and service.

The CTX 9000 DSi system uses core technology derived from medical Computed Tomography (CT). As the conveyor moves each bag through the machine, the system creates a scan projection X-ray image. Using sophisticated computer algorithms, the CTX 9000 DSi system analyzes these images and compares their CT properties with those of known explosives. If a match is found, the system alarms and displays the object on the screen. The operator views the screen image to determine whether a real threat exists and then follows established protocols for threat resolution.

Outstanding performance distinguishes the CTX 9000 DSi system, which was designed by GE from the ground up for integrated airport installations. Its 1-meter wide conveyor coordinates with airport baggage handling systems and requires minimal space for built-in installation.

The CTX 9000 DSi system is the world's fastest operational TSA-certified explosives detection system (EDS). It features alternate operational modes which yield high throughputs.
