Summary:The present invention relates to a high efficient searching apparatus or processing technique using a combination of X ray signal and millimeter wave (EHF wave) signal, which allows a practical and effective method for searching human body to be conducted in air ports or harbors. The present invention relates to a highly efficient searching system using a combination of X ray signal and millimeter wave signal, which allows a practical and effective method for searching human beings in public places where a level of security is required. Millimeter wave and X ray signal emitters and detectors are used to provide a processed image of a detected object, which is then analyzed and compared with objects in a stored database. Flagged objects then signal an alarm to alert security personnel.
