Lodox’s critical imaging technology was first developed for use in South Africa’s diamond mines to prevent smuggling in the 1980s and ’90s. The scanner was developed to do a quick full body scan to detect at least one carat or a fifth of a gram of diamonds at the lowest possible X-ray dose for safety.
De Beers first developed the device to scan miners coming from their shift to detect concealed or swallowed diamonds and was later joined by the University of Cape Town’s biomedical engineering and radiology departments to do further research on adjusting the system.
