How can TSA conveyor belts see through your suitcase?

I’m confused. I assume it’s a similar concept to X-Ray, but when you go through TSA line and look on their computers, there’s wireframes of everything in your bag. How?

Traditionally the airport is using X-rays to scan your luggage, however the TSA is trying to switch over to computed tomography (commonly known as a CT scan.)

Basically they’re sending high frequency photons at your luggage, and detecting how much makes it through on the other side. Computers can use that information to develop pictures of the contents of your luggage.
