The Future of X-Ray Imaging = Nanotechnology + Scintillators

At the core of our innovation lies a technology that combines nanophotonic structures with scintillators, enhancing their ability to convert X-rays into visible light for sharper, more efficient imaging. Featured in landmark scientific publications [1][2], our approach marks a significant advancement in medical diagnostics and industrial inspection.

Controlling scintillation light at will

Our approach enhances and controls scintillation light, enabling us to capture details that conventional optics cannot.

End-to-end framework

We model and optimize every step of the X-ray imaging process, from X-ray interaction with matter to advanced image reconstruction algorithms.

Industry-Compatible Manufacturing

We leverage optimized processes from the semiconductor industry to deliver full-scale x-ray panels at affordable cost.

Scintillators, old and new

Our technology is material-agnostic: we can improve all scintillators, well-installed and emerging materials.
