Both backscatter X-ray technology and full body scanners use millimeter wave technology. Depending on the technology being used, an operator using either an alternate-wavelength image of the person’s naked body or a cartoon image of the person with an indicator highlighting the area where any suspicious items can be found can check a person’s body.
Millimeter wave technology
The millimeter wave technology is becoming more and more popular due to its speed, lack of any physical contact, and lack of the need for a strip search. The equipment's ability to see through the body is primarily due to millimeter wave technology. Full body scanners produce an image that makes it easier to spot objects hidden under clothing or any other type of cover by having radio waves of high frequency reflect off the body.
Full body scanners, which are operated by fixed computer systems, use cutting-edge imaging technologies. To the desktops installed on user consoles, these systems send images. These user consoles are compatible with full-body scanners.
