I've only ever seen mmWave full body scanners, TSA began phasing out backscatter X-rays in 2012 [1] and according to this [2] backscatter X-ray is no longer used in US airports. Maybe different in other countries, I don't know.
mmWave is radio frequency not X-ray and similar frequencies are used in 5G.
