Got a question? Here are answers to the ones we’re asked most often and if you don’t find what you’re looking for, feel free to contact us.
General.
Is the Adaptix Technology patented?
Adaptix has twenty patent families with over one hundred and fifty filed patents to protect the development of its 3D X-ray technology and its applications. The patent portfolio now covers the full system, including methods and apparatus for producing X-rays and tools for 3D image reconstruction.
The combination of patents awarded and filed gives Adaptix the freedom to continue to innovate, while protecting further research and development into distributed arrays.
NDT FAQs.
What shielding does your NDT3D system need?
Adaptix can supply both self-shielded systems, where the X-ray source is in a cabinet that prevents any leakage of radiation, and “open” systems (e.g. for imaging the wing on a plane) where distance is used for protection and all staff remain outside of a controlled area.
What is the power requirement for NDT3D?
Adaptix systems require only a low power input so can run off a normal mains plug
What is the fidelity of your NDT system?
Fidelity is related to the pixel size of the detector, currently we can achieve 19 micron on our smallest detector. On the other side of the scale, larger detectors have a fidelity at 130 microns.
Ortho FAQs.
What is the dose?
Skin dose ranges from 0.21 mGy to 1.41 mGy depending on the size of the anatomy being imaged.
Is the Adaptix Ortho350 system the same as CT?
The Adaptix Ortho350 system is not the same as a CT scanner. Our system performs a scan in just 15 seconds, during which it captures a series of low-dose X-rays from multiple angles. Unlike a standard X-ray that produces a single 2D image, the Adaptix Ortho350 generates a stack of high-quality, CT-like images.
While it doesn’t provide a full volumetric dataset that can be reformatted or rotated in every plane like a traditional CT, it delivers detailed, slice-by-slice imaging, offering significantly more diagnostic information than a standard 2D X-ray at a much lower dose.
Where can I use the Adaptix Ortho350 system?
The Adaptix Ortho350 system can be used for imaging both the upper and lower extremities, including the hand, wrist, elbow, toes, foot, ankle, and knee. It is also capable of capturing weight-bearing images, providing valuable diagnostic insights.
The system is suitable for use in a variety of clinical settings such as sports medicine clinics, emergency departments, urgent care centers, and secondary care clinics.
