In partnership with CSEM, the Neuchâtel-based start-up is building on its revolutionary latenium technology. Based around a particle-counting X-ray imager, this promising solution is designed to improve the quality of images obtained during examinations such as breast cancer screening.
G-Ray Medical Sàrl intends to offer a new generation of x-ray imagers to the medical world, thanks to its latenium electronic technology. To achieve this, the Neuchâtel-based start-up will continue its collaboration with CSEM. Already associated in the Novipix project, initiated by the Swiss National Science Foundation, the two partners have demonstrated the effectiveness of G-ray Medical's technologies, notably the low-temperature covalent bonding of two Silicon wafers. Their collaboration has led to the finalization of an innovative X-ray detector.
" This new collaboration will enable us to demonstrate the enormous potential of electronics development for our detector. "Philippe Le Corre, CEO of G-ray Medical, is delighted. " The main challenge now is to miniaturize the sensor's pixels and minimize the system's power consumption, while offering very high quality X-ray imaging. "explains Pierre-François Rüedi, project manager at CSEM. According to Professor Daniel Rüfenacht, radiology specialist with the Hirslanden Group, the project's potential is significant: " Development of the detector's electronic components should enable image information to be captured and processed in greater detail, at a speed as fast as that of the human eye. ". In his view, such advances are eagerly awaited by the medical world, but could also benefit other fields of science.
