OREANDA-NEWS. Image Scan, the AIM-listed specialist supplier of X-ray screening systems to the security and industrial inspection markets, is pleased to announce that it has signed a distribution agreement for X-ray mail scanning systems with Todd Research, a leading manufacturer in the market. Furthermore, two orders totaling six systems have now been received. 

Under the agreement Image Scan will make use of its well developed and extensive global reach into the security market to find new customers for the Todd Research range of mail and security scanning systems. These systems are widely used to perform X-ray inspection of incoming mail and packages in embassies and other government buildings, as well as company headquarters and industrial facilities.

Advance image enhancement tools provide high detection performance against such threats.
