1. A portable radiography scanning system, comprising:
a radiation detector configured to generate digital images based on incident radiation;
a radiation source configured to output the radiation toward the radiation detector;
a thermal sensor configured to capture thermal images and having a field of view that at least partially overlaps a projection field of the radiation;
an optical sensor configured to capture optical images and having a field of view that at least partially overlaps a projection field of the radiation and at least partially overlaps the field of view of the thermal sensor; and
a computing device configured to:
control the radiation source;
receive the digital images from the radiation detector;
receive the thermal images from the thermal sensor; and
output the digital images and the thermal images, in real-time, to a display device.
