CTX 9800 is equipped with multiplexing software and hardware that networks the system with the user and control interfaces for remote screening of checked baggage allowing the easy processing of high-resolution 3D and 2D bag images.

The Clarity technology incorporated in the CTX 9800 allows it to screen checked luggage at higher speeds while delivering high-resolution 3D images, according to MDI.

The first CTX 9800 DSi was deployed by the TSA at Mineta San José International Airport in California, where eight units have been integrated with the baggage handling system.
