Xscann Low-Dose Body X-ray Scanners are managed by a software management system known as XMan2E. This software management system controls the entire environment surrounding the x-ray unit, including the access control system and dose measurement. XMan2E is also responsible for consolidating an MS SQL database that holds all the unit’s information, from personal data and x-ray dosage, to the actual scanned images. Historical data of all transactions is available for reporting on the day-to-day operations of the unit. XMan2E keeps a detailed log of operations, from the operator identity to the flow process during a working shift of Xscann.
The following software modules were added to Xscann to ensure the smooth operation of the unit:
The operator module: To integrate all information available to the user in an easily accessible format. The operator module provides the operator with a user interface, through which personal information of the subject being scanned is displayed, as well as a summarised view of the unit’s operational status. From here, the operator can start the x-ray and view its status throughout the scan process.
Viewer module: A high-resolution image from the x-ray unit is displayed on the screen. From here, the viewer can analyse the image and decide whether to hold or release the subject, based on the image displayed. This viewer module can be remotely located to prevent any form of collusion occuring between colleagues. An optional enhancement is now available that will complement the viewer module. By clicking on the R (Reference Image) button in the viewer module a reference image of the person being scanned will be displayed next to the current scanned image. This will enable the viewer to compare the two images, therefore making the evaluation process more efficient.

Data capturing module: To add new subjects and users, as well as to manage the security levels of the system. The same module provides the users with various levels of authority during operation, for example: operator or supervisor (available to supervisor only).
Xscann’s diagnostics module: Allows for full control of all the doors and access control readers. This enables the supervisor to conduct a quick troubleshoot of the unit.
