An inspection system 1 comprising a platform module2 having a platform 3 configured to support: a generator of ionizing radiation 10, a boom module 5 configured to form an articulated boom of the inspection system to support ionizing radiation detectors of the inspection system and a control module 6. Control module 6 comprises means for controlling the generator 4 and the detectors of inspection system 1. A plurality of wheel axles 7 are configured to be selectively and removably connected to both rail wheels (8, Fig 4) for rails (10) and truck / land vehicle wheels 9 for public roads 11. As such inspection system 1 may selectively operate as at least two types of inspection systems: a first type to operate as a mobile inspection system when established with road wheels 9, and a second type, to operate as a gantry inspection system when established with rail wheels (8). The system 1 has a retracted configuration for transport between inspection sites, and a deployed configuration for its inspection function. Associated methods are also disclosed.
