<p>A system and method for the detection of shoe bombs using ultrasound imaging. The system allows clients to pass through security without removing their shoes. For this device, the client steps onto a coupling platform that has an ultrasound transducer underneath that scans and captures a video of the shoe. Detection software then converts the video to images and analyze them, issuing an alert when there is a possible anomaly in the shoe. This creates a more effective security process for airports, allowing more passengers to be analyzed per minute than the current method of removing shoes and scanning them with X-ray technology. The system allows security to have a clear image of the shoe and be silently alerted to shoes that may contain a threat.</p>
