A low-cost scanning service to replace X-rays

post-image

Nanox, a startup out of Israel, has developed a small, low-cost scanning system and “medical screening as a service” to replace the costly and large machines and corresponding software typically used for X-rays, CAT scans, PET scans and other body imaging services.

The Nanox system is based around proprietary technology related to digital X-rays. Digital radiography is a relatively new area in the world of imaging that relies on digital scans rather than X-ray plates to capture and process images.

It can make its images in a tiny fraction of a second, making them significantly safer in terms of radiation exposure compared to existing methods.
