GE Security: explosives detection system certification for CTX 9800 DSi. GE Security announced that its Homeland Protection business has attained US Transportation Security Administration certification for the CTX 9800 DSi, the next generation CTX in GE’s explosives detection systems line.

This certification will give airports the opportunity to protect travelers with advanced high-definition 3D imaging (HD3-D) baggage screening technology, formerly only available in healthcare settings, combined with industry-leading explosives detection.

The new system breaks new ground with its innovative data acquisition system, bringing together for the first time GE Healthcare’s 3D imaging technology and GE Security’s automated explosives detection technology.

The HD3-D imaging delivers a 360°, finely-detailed view of baggage contents, providing operators with an increased ability to identify threats and lower operational costs.

The CTX 9800 also provides users the ability to easily adapt to new threat definitions in the future. “The CTX 9800 utilizes advanced imaging technology originally developed for healthcare applications and customizes it for security applications,“ said Dennis Cooke of GE Security‘s Homeland Protection business.

“Our unique Clarity technology enables checked luggage to be scanned by an EDS system at unprecedented speeds with the highest resolution in the industry. The CTX 9800 delivers 3D volumetric images with exceptional detail that can lead to more effective identification of potential threats and increased operator efficiency.“
