Abstract: Methods and apparatus for parcel inspection with x-rays. A source of penetrating radiation contained entirely within an enclosing body of a conveyance generates a beam of penetrating radiation incident upon a parcel while the parcel is disposed externally to the enclosing body. A detector generates an inspection signal based on detection of penetrating radiation after interaction with contents of the parcel. A conveyor positions the parcel with respect to the beam of penetrating radiation, while a processor ascertains a specified characteristic of the parcel based on the inspection signal.
