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.

With hundreds of systems deployed worldwide, GE's CTX systems offer TSA-certified, field-proven technology backed by an expert team of training and support professionals to help large and small airports alike meet today's stringent explosives detection requirements.

Like all GE CTX EDS machines, the CTX 5500 DS system uses technology derived from medical Computed Tomography (CT) to help locate and identify explosive devices concealed in checked baggage. As the conveyor moves each bag through the machine, the system produces a scan projection X-ray image. Using sophisticated computer algorithms, the CTX 5500 DS system analyzes these slice images and compares their properties with those of known threats. If a match is found, the system alarms and displays the object on the screen. By viewing the screen images an operator can determine whether a threat exists, and then follow established protocols for threat resolution.

GE's CTX 5500 DS system is the most widely used, TSA-certified explosives detection system (EDS) in the world. It can be used in a standalone application yet powerful enough for integration into airport baggage handling systems.
