Company Summary

Working with customers, we invented, fabricated, tested and patented (9+) a new type of digital flat panel x-ray detector. The detector is for medical, industrial and security applications ($4B/yr). Existing technology is limited by noise and blur in the images. With an advanced architecture we realized a reduced dose (-40% to -300%), higher image quality, and much lower cost. Varex Imaging Corp. , in top 4 WW, is an investor and key customer.
