Handheld Portable X-ray Device
The Madoors USA PT-1000 is a rugged, battery-operated portable digital X-ray system providing 16-bit, 65,536 grey level imaging with unmatched penetration in a flat panel weighing only 3kg and measuring just 15mm thin — with the largest imaging area in its class at 35 × 43cm, built-in wireless transmission, and the complete system fitting into a single carry case with pull-out laptop station. Designed for the security industry where lives are at stake, the PT-1000 enables one-approach downrange operations for suspicious package investigation, baggage screening, vehicle compartment inspection, and EOD support — the operator takes only the panel and X-ray source to the inspection site and produces superior images at the click of a button. Available with CAT cable-free advanced wireless transmission for extended and fast wireless image delivery. 2-year warranty.
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
The Madoors USA PT-1000 portable X-ray flat panel provides 16-bit imaging depth — 65,536 grey levels — delivering the highest available detail resolution in portable digital radiology imaging for accurate detection of concealed objects, improvised explosive device components, weapons, and contraband within packages, baggage, and vehicle compartments. The 16-bit grey level depth provides the fine material differentiation required to distinguish between organic and metallic objects, identify electronic components within suspicious packages, and confirm the presence and arrangement of potentially dangerous assemblies.
The flat panel measures 35 × 43cm — 14 × 17 inches — the largest imaging area available in the portable X-ray class, providing coverage of the full cross-section of standard packages, carry-on baggage, and most vehicle compartment positions in a single image without repositioning. This large imaging area directly reduces the number of individual exposures required for a complete package or compartment inspection — fewer repositioning operations mean faster inspection time and less operator time in the downrange threat environment.
Panel thickness is 15mm — providing the slim profile required for insertion into tight spaces including vehicle door panels, under seats, between cargo loads, and into narrow package openings. At 3kg total weight, the panel can be carried to any inspection site and held in position by a single operator without the operator fatigue that heavier panels create during extended inspection operations.
Built-in wireless transmission provides cable-free image transfer from the panel to the laptop workstation — the operator positions the panel at the inspection site without any cable routing or connection procedure. The optional CAT — Cable-free Advanced Transmission — system extends the wireless range and increases transmission speed for operations where the X-ray source and panel are at greater distance from the operator workstation.
The long-life battery provides extended field operation without external power — the complete system operates from its own battery supply at any inspection site. All components — panel, X-ray source, laptop station, and carrying accessories — fit in a single carry case for organized, protected transport and rapid deployment.
KEY FEATURES
One-Approach Downrange — Operator Safety
The one-approach downrange capability is the critical operational safety design principle of the PT-1000 — the operator approaches the suspicious package, vehicle, or baggage a single time to position the panel, then withdraws to the safe standoff distance to initiate the X-ray exposure and review the image on the laptop. No second approach is required for image repositioning or equipment adjustment. This single-approach principle directly minimizes the operator's time in the immediate vicinity of a potential explosive device — the primary safety requirement for EOD and suspicious package inspection operations.
16-Bit — 65,536 Grey Levels — Highest Available Detail
The 16-bit image depth providing 65,536 grey level gradations is the highest available grey level resolution in portable digital radiography — providing the material differentiation and structural detail required for accurate threat assessment in the security and EOD application. The 65,536 grey levels allow the operator to distinguish between materials of very similar density that would be indistinguishable in lower bit-depth images — providing the detailed internal structure visibility required to identify IED components, weapons concealed within legitimate contents, and contraband hidden within dense cargo.
35 × 43cm — Largest Imaging Area in Portable Class
The 35 × 43cm imaging area — the largest available in the portable X-ray panel class — provides single-image coverage of standard package and baggage cross-sections without repositioning. This maximum imaging area directly reduces the number of exposures required for a complete inspection — a standard carry-on bag is fully covered in one or two positions rather than the four or more positions required by smaller-panel alternatives. Fewer exposures means less time downrange and faster overall inspection throughput.
15mm Panel Thickness — Tight Space Access
The 15mm flat panel profile provides access to tight inspection positions that standard-thickness panels cannot reach — between vehicle seat cushions and frames, under vehicle floor carpeting, between stacked cargo packages, and into narrow package openings. This slim access capability directly extends the PT-1000's effective inspection range to all concealment positions within the target item — not just the positions accessible to thicker panels.
3kg Weight — Single Operator, Extended Use
The 3kg panel weight is the critical field operability specification — at 3kg, a single operator can carry the panel to the inspection site, position it for multiple exposures, and carry it back without the physical fatigue that would affect inspection quality and decision-making accuracy. Extended inspection operations across multiple packages or vehicles in a single deployment are manageable at 3kg where heavier panels would require team carrying or equipment support.
Built-In Wireless — Cable-Free Positioning Freedom
The built-in wireless transmission eliminates the cable routing constraint that restricts panel positioning in conventional wired portable X-ray systems — the panel can be positioned at any location, angle, and distance from the X-ray source without a cable path to manage. Cable-free positioning directly enables the most accurate inspection geometry for each specific package or vehicle position without the compromise that cable routing imposes on optimal panel placement.
Complete System in One Case — Rapid Deployment
The single-case system with pull-out laptop station provides organized, protected storage of all components and the fastest available deployment — the operator opens the case, pulls out the laptop station, removes the panel and X-ray source, and is ready for inspection without any assembly or setup procedure. Rapid deployment is the operational requirement for emergency EOD and security response where inspection capability must be established at the threat location in the minimum possible time.
Click-of-a-Button Operation — Minimal Training
The click-of-a-button image acquisition provides the operational simplicity required for deployment by security, law enforcement, and military personnel who are not radiography specialists — the complete inspection workflow is initiated by a single button press after panel positioning. This operational simplicity directly reduces the training requirement and maintains reliable inspection performance across all operator skill levels in the field.
OPERATIONAL INSPECTION PROCEDURE
Case Deployment
The single carry case is positioned at a safe distance from the inspection target. The laptop station is pulled out from the case and the display is confirmed active. The X-ray source and flat panel are removed from the case.
One-Approach Downrange
The operator approaches the suspicious package, vehicle, or baggage a single time — the 15mm flat panel is positioned adjacent to or within the inspection target for the first imaging position. The X-ray source is positioned on the opposite side of the target at the specified geometry.
Single-Button Exposure
The operator withdraws to the safe standoff distance. The X-ray exposure is initiated at the click of a button. The 16-bit image is wirelessly transmitted to the laptop display in real time.
Image Review
The operator reviews the 65,536 grey level image on the laptop display — assessing the internal contents of the package, vehicle compartment, or baggage for threat objects, IED components, weapons, and contraband.
Additional Positions if Required
If additional imaging positions are required for complete coverage, the operator makes a further single approach to reposition the panel and source, withdraws, and initiates the additional exposure.
Threat Assessment & Response
The complete image set provides the threat assessment basis — the operator or EOD specialist makes the tactical decision for further investigation, controlled detonation, or safe clearance based on the PT-1000 image evidence.
