Health Issues & FAQs

It is assumed that subjects for the body scanning are in general good condition of health.
This particular NX16 scanner uses white light technology and not laser or infrared-LED therefore it is safe.  It registers surface data and is not skin-deep intrusive.  However, it is recommended that any pregnant person checks and gets approval from the doctor before being scanned.

Subjects must inform the registrar during registration or upon arrival if they suffer from Claustrophobia, Diabetes, and Epilepsy or carry a pacemaker.  In most situations, we would not recommend body scanning in these cases.

Our body scanner has not yet been approved for use by wheelchair users.
