101526Market and Technical specification for Head only CTClosedLaunchpadInnovate UKRadius Diagnostics Ltd, a spin-in to the European Space Agency BIC on the Harwell Campus is using space heritage technology to revolutionised clinical planar X-ray radiology – the modality used for 60% of all medical imaging worldwide and representing a >$5bn capital market. The transformation will be comparable to the effect that the introduction of LCD had on Visual Display Units in terms of reducing weight and bulk by >90% and cost, but more importantly it will transform form factors and portability. Most importantly it will allow 3D imaging from a modality that has traditionally only been 2D. This grant for 50% of a £200k project relates to initial concept development and market validation for the use of the planar sources to produce a low-cost CT (target < $200k) with no moving parts that would be used for stroke assessment in A&E Departments to reduce time to diagnose “clot versus bleed”.
