This invention relates to the field of metal detectors. More particularly, it relates to an imaging metal detector for imaging the metal on subjects passing through a spatial plane providing the specific location, shape and mass of the metal object. This invention makes use of an array of active sensors to transmit and receive magnetic beams and a computer for generating an image of the metal object based upon the data received from the sensors. Through the use of this invention it is possible to scan several subjects at the same time and generate a two- or three-dimensional image of any metal object on the subject as well as precise location, mass and type of metal contained in the object.
