Abstract

Detecting illegal drugs in packages without opening the package is a challenge. X-ray diffraction tomography offers the potential capability of uniquely identifying illegal drugs within a package based on their atomic structure. To understand the potential for XRD-based drug detection, we developed a method for building a library of X-ray diffraction drug signatures. In addition, we used a compact, multi-modality fan beam X-ray imaging system (combining transmission and X-ray diffraction) to distinguish oxycodone from non-prescription medicine when concealed within different types of containment.
