1. A container inspection system which comprises means for transmitting a container;

  • means for generating an energy flux which is transmitted inside of said container;

    at least one sensor for detecting an energy level and spatial location of energy flux transmitted through the inside of said container; and

    a processing unit for performing a predetermined image processing based on an output signal received from said at least one sensor whereby a signal for variable density of image data for a transmission factor of said container is processed by said processing unit to inspect said container without disturbing said container, said processing unit comprising means for storing an index defining a size and a respective predetermined energy flux level, means for comparing said index with the detected energy level and spatial location of said energy flux detected by said at least one sensor; and

    display means for automatically indicating when said comparing means determines that the energy level and spatial location of the energy flux detected by said at least one sensor matches the stored index.
