Micro-X is the first company in the world to introduce to the general radiology market, NEX Technology, using a carbon nanotube, a cold electron source material instead of a traditional heated filament.
This electronic x-ray tube is smaller, lighter, and faster than anything the world has seen before.
This has led to the development of the Rover DR Mobile System, with unique characteristics resulting from engineering prowess and clinical engagement incorporating NEX Technology. Rover is spearheading change in mobile imaging around the world.
NEX Technology makes our products:
Versatile and Lightweight
The Rover Mobile DR is an ultra-lightweight X-ray unit providing high quality imaging at Point of Care for patients at home, in hospital or on the sports field!
Several unique components contribute to its lightness:
Nano Electronic X-ray or NEX Technology™ uses carbon nanotubes to generate X-rays without heat yet with high precision.
Therefore, the bulk of oil, lead and motors needed for cooling traditional thermionic X-rays machines are not needed.
NEX Technology delivers an X-ray tube of 2.35 kgs, our head is <6 kgs and the counterpoise arm <16.5ks. The total weight of the Rover Mobile DR is about 100kgs.
No motors and fewer batteries are needed further reducing weight.
