Does X-ray baggage scanner have radiation?

Yes! Because X-ray baggage scanner uses X-ray to identify the items, it is evitable to have radiation to our body. However, the radiation amount is much little when we go through the X-ray baggage scanner in short time although there is radiation.

Nowadays, X-ray baggage scanner can be seen everywhere in life. There are a large number of X-ray baggage scanner in stations, hotels, subway entrances, and high-speed railway stations where most people choose to travel far.

In fact, the radiation dose of X-rays in the X-ray baggage scanner currently in use is very low, which usually does not affect human health, and generally does not cause radiation pollution to objects and food. However, the radiation inside the X-ray baggage scanner is still very large, and it will still cause some harm to the human body.

The source of radiation from X-ray baggage scanner is mainly at two ends that are import and export. Therefore, when going through the X-ray baggage scanner, try to avoid touching, and do not stay by for too long, let alone open the door curtain, or even stick your body in to get things.

Can food be eaten after passing through X-ray baggage scanner?

We should know the working principle of X-ray baggage scanner before getting to know if the X-ray baggage scanner do harm to our food when going through it. X-ray baggage scanners are widely used in train station and airport. The working principle of X-ray baggage scanner is conveying the luggage to the X-ray checking tunnel and the X-ray will eject from the control system when the parcel blocks the sensor. The penetration X-ray will go through the parcel and show what’s inside the luggage clearly.

X-ray baggage scanner will produce x-ray light when detecting the luggage. And the x-ray light belongs to ionizing radiation. Ionizing radiation has a huge and irreversible harm to human body. But normally, passage could not easily touch the X-ray light because of the protection metal frame and lead curtain.

Now there is any prove showing that X-ray light will do harm to food yet. But in my personal view, we suggest passengers to take the food out of your luggage before going through the X-ray baggage scanner and better not eat the opened food if it is checked by X-ray baggage scanner.

What is the difference between X-ray baggage scanner used in railway station and the hospital?

X-ray machines are mainly divided into two categories, one is medical, and the other is X-ray baggage scanner used for tourist attractions, stations, high-speed rail stations, and express logistics.

The working principle of X-ray baggage scanner is the same as the medical X-ray machine. The X-ray machine is nothing more than three parts, one is the tube, which emits the X-ray radiation source. The X-ray passes through the material to see what we can’t see with the naked eye. The second is to have a high-voltage transformer. The high-voltage transformer turns the general voltage into a high voltage, and then provides a tube to generate electrons and then generate X-rays. The third part is the controller, which is how much X-ray I need to put in. There must be a control board. All X-ray machines must have the above parts, whether it is X-ray or CT.

The radiation of X-ray baggage scanner is smaller than the medical X-ray machine. The usage of the X-ray baggage scanner is to put the luggage into the X-ray channel to perform the X-ray items, and after the conversion, the shape and color of the items are presented. The X-ray baggage scanner used to inspect items through the machine uses X-rays to pass through the object to obtain images, which are displayed on the computer screen through computer processing to identify the images and evaluate the safety of the objects. Although the principle is similar to that of an X-ray machine in a hospital, the dose of the X-ray baggage scanner is less than the amount of medical X-ray machine. X-ray baggage scanner detects objects and the person passes through the people screening. However, the medical X-ray machine needs to irradiate the human body to see clearly. The X-ray baggage scanner is a class of III ray device, which is a low-risk ray device.
