A Flat Panel Array with a multitude of emitters in a single vacuum enclosure to reduce the cost of stationary Digital Tomosynthesis ('sDT') relative to using a multitude of individual sources.

Relative to DT systems using moving sources, it will simplify the system and reduce cost, while improving portability and reduce acquisition time to reduce motion artefacts and the time during which a patient must remain still. The problems we specifically address are:

  • Clinicians are forced to select between 2D X-ray and 3D CT and compromise between image quality, cost, place of acquisition and dose.

  • Newer systems (like digital tomosynthesis) promised quality and low dose but fell short due to technological deficiencies - either size and lack of portability, or low flux and long acquisition times.

  • Point-of-care imaging must deliver clinically relevant diagnosis at cost effective price points.

  • Flat Panel Arrays have been proven to be possible and capable of delivering low-dose DT at the point-of-care, now we are innovating to make them more capable and lower-cost.

/ OUR FOCUS

Improving SWAP
Our system avoids the pitfalls of first generation devices to reduce system size, weight and power ('SWAP') requirements and allows us to significantly increase the size of the active area.

Reducing Cost
We power multiple panels from a single commercial-off-the-shelf power supply to reduce cost and allow design simplification.

Leveraging Machine Learning
Deep learning image reconstruction extends the deployment configurations and allows reduced dose protocols.

Enabling advanced imaging
Our focus is on multiple energies and fast dual energy imaging.

Our product roadmap

Building on our team’s decades of experience in X-ray source commercialization, our roadmap progresses quickly to deploy a marketable system in veterinary and NDE applications.

The first system will come in shielded (NDE) and unshielded versions (veterinary) and be large enough to image a large dog's chest cavity or a large 3D printed or composite part.

Our focus is proving that our next-gen X-ray source delivers the power and scalability to transform imaging, and that transformation is already in motion at Panel.
