The paper deals with properties of new airport roentgen (RTG) security scanners which have been developed in order to achieve more effective detection of dangerous articles or substances which passengers may attempt to transport illegally. The discussion is especially aimed at issues related to possible health impacts of the use of these scanners on monitored persons who during such checkups are subjected to a certain although very low X-ray exposure.

Keywords: personal RTG scanner, airport, passenger control, dangerous articles
