The scanning systems currently used in Canada are millimetre-wave scanners, which do not emit x-rays. The millimetre-wave body scanner works by projecting low-level millimetre-wave, radio-frequency energy above and around the [person]'s body. The RF energy is reflected back from the body and from objects concealed on the body to produce a three-dimensional image. 5, record 1, English, - millimetre%2Dwave%20scanner

Les scanners utilisés au Canada sont à ondes millimétriques et n'émettent pas de rayons X. Ils projettent une énergie de radiofréquences millimétriques de faible intensité sur le corps [de la personne] et autour de [celle-ci]. Réfléchie par le corps et par tout objet dissimulé sur le corps, cette énergie produit une image en trois dimensions. 3, record 1, French, - scanner%20%C3%A0%20ondes%20millim%C3%A9triques
