What is the difference between a security scan, body scan or millimetre wave scanner?

The term body scan is often used for equipment that looks inside the body. Naked scanner is a term often used in the media, but which has no relation to a certain type of equipment. The security scan is a machine that can detect objects carried on the body. The Millimetre Wave Scanner is the type of scanner in use at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol.
