A mobile variable-geometry backscatter detection system for inspecting cargo with detector 4 providing scan area 40 and a deployable detector 2 with scan area 20. The system works in two modes one for transportation and one for scanning. The scan area maybe expanded using detector 4 and detector 2. Detector 4 is enclosed in casing 500 and detector 2 is mobile and can be slid (fig.3D) or pivoted (fig.3B) with respect to the casing. The system may be transported using a truck, tractor, or trailer between inspection sites.
