If the conveyors were stopped though the inspection of a baggage or freight item had not yet been

memorize the X-ray image (F 1-82).

If the X-ray unit is equipped with an LCD/TFT monitor the X-ray images may appear unclear
whilst they are in motion. In this case, stop the conveyors before you evaluate an image.
