1. A scanning system for scanning an object comprising:

  • a scanning chamber having opposed side surfaces and a third surface extending between the side surfaces;

    a displacement assembly engageable with the scanning chamber, the displacement assembly configured for receiving the object and displacing the object in a displacement direction into the scanning chamber;

    a bracket frame mounted to the scanning chamber and inclined relative to a horizontal in the displacement direction;

    a source mounted to an inclined support and in fixed position about the scanning chamber for emitting electromagnetic radiation toward the bracket frame at an angle inclined relative to the horizontal and against the object in the scanning chamber so that the electromagnetic radiation impacts and passes through the object; and

    a plurality of detectors mounted to the bracket frame at least partially about the scanning chamber, each detector being inclined at a detector angle, the detector angle of at least one of the detectors having a different value than the detector angle of an adjacent detector, each detector configured for detecting the electromagnetic radiation passed through the object, thereby scanning the object.
