body scanner

Airport screening device

A body scanner is a device that creates images of the human body, typically for security or medical purposes.

Airport security uses body scanners to detect concealed weapons or contraband beneath clothing without physical contact.

Medical body scanners—CT, MRI, PET—produce detailed internal images for diagnosis.
