Flat panel X-ray source for Highly Portable 3D Planar X-ray Solution

MAX提供的商机是引入一种激进的技术，以实现从真空管到晶体源的转变，这种转变可以使用现有的半导体铸造工艺制造。MAX源实现了不需要外部高压电源、高压电子设备或真空管的平板X射线源。因此，消除了X射线源的最昂贵、最笨重、最昂贵和最脆弱的部件。其结果将在临床、安全和工业应用中产生变革，就像在视觉显示单元中引入平板LCD和等离子屏幕一样。该项目将提供在半导体开发环境中制造并在体模上测试的全尺寸（40 cm x 40 cm）固态源。然后，该器械将准备转移到制造环境中，进行CE测试并发布用于商业生产。

The business opportunity presented by MAX is to introduce a radical technology to create a shift from vacuum tubes to crystal based sources that can be manufactured using existing semiconductor foundry processes. The MAX source enables a flat panel X-ray source that does not require an external high voltage supply, high voltage electronics or a vacuum tube. As a result the most costly, bulky, expensive and fragile components of an X-ray source are eliminated. The result will be as transformational in clinical, security and industrial applications as the introduction of flat panel LCD and Plasma screens have been in Visual Display Units. This project will deliver a full scale (40cm x 40cm) solid state source manufactured in a semiconductor development environment and tested on a phantom. This device will then be ready to transfer to a manufacturing environment, CE tested and released for commercial production.
