Yes, there are other technologies out there which don't use X-ray to do detection. There's a radar/sonar variety as well.

As people who follow space technology might know, we have radar mapping techniques which allow us to build a stereographic view of underground structures like the ancient Mayan canals in central American [or Russian nuclera missle silos]. The same type of technology has been applied to do screening.
