Our Technology: The Future of X-ray

CNT COLD-CATHODE
X-RAY TECHNOLOGY

Based on field emission mechanism, CNT cathodes generate electrons at room temperature without heating. CNT cold-cathode X-ray sources are much faster in response time, more compact in size, and lower in power consumption.

MULTI-BEAM X-RAY (MBX) SOURCES

Multiple CNT cathodes arranged at small pitch in a compact package.  X-ray beams are produced via sequential activation of the distributed focal spot array. 3D imaging can be achieved without the need for a rotating or moving gantry.

STATIC 3D X-RAY IMAGING

Multiple views with no motion blur.  The ability to capture 3D image data without motion of the source allows for greater flexibility in system design, and at the same time reduces the mechanical complexity and size of the machine.

Dentistry / Orthopedics / Mammography / Angiography / Veterinary

NCX provides diagnostic quality 3D images without mechanical movement. With the inclusion of several stationary X-ray sources, the projection views for digital tomography can be acquired in a shorter time than with motion-based systems. These short scan times are ideal for imaging of the heart, lungs, or otherwise involuntarily moving organs. Furthermore, the gantry-free design and precision gating of the X-ray exposures results in ultimately lower cost and radiation dose to the patient.

About Us

NCX is a US-based company located in North Carolina that produces next-generation X-ray sources and systems with superior imaging resolution and stationary 3D capability. The ultra-fast switching capability and gantry-free design of our X-ray source allow the drastic reduction of motion blur and device size.
