Full Body Scanner Market Analysis

A full body scanner is a special device used toexpose objects, including weaponries and explosives that could be hidden under clothing on a person's body. Full body scanners are generally used for security purposes. They work without making any sort of physical contact and without having to have clothes removed from human bodies. Full body scanners work on two distinct technologies - millimeter wave technology and backscatter X-ray technology.  Depending on the type of technology being used, an operator can check a person'sbody through an alternate-wavelength image of the person's naked body or through a cartoon-like picture of the person with an indicator screening the section where any doubtful items can be detected.

The millimeter wave technology is gaining popularity across the world as it is quick, does not require any kind of physical contact and does not require any person to strip search. Millimeter wave technology is mainly responsible for the equipment’s ability to see through the body. Full body scanners reflect radio waves of high frequency off the body and create an image which facilitates spotting objects hidden under the clothes or any other kind of cover. 

Advanced imaging technologies are used by full body scanners, which are controlled using fixed computer systems. These systems transmit images to the desktops installed on user consoles. Full body scanners are supported by these user consoles.
