According to foreign media reports, Tribogenics, a start-up company, is currently developing a new generation of truly portable X-ray machines that are the size of a laptop. The portable X-ray machine has been in existence for almost a hundred years. It is portable, and it is only from the perspective that it can be moved. Most existing X-ray machines are very bulky, bulky, and consume large amounts of power, which is equivalent to the power consumption of household electric water heaters.
Tribogenics, a startup based in California, aims to replace bulky machines with devices no larger than laptops. The company is planning to use a tiny X-ray generator that only has one chewing gum. This goal, this X-ray generator can be used on small, battery-powered X-ray machines. If successful, this lightweight imaging device can be easily transported to the front line of the battlefield, to the disaster area, or to a remote area away from the hospital, thereby eliminating the need to transport patients. In order to help the product from scientific experiments to put into practical use, Tribogenics has already obtained a $6.2 million investment from Peter Thiel's founder fund.
In a project funded by the US Department of Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), Tribogenics used a breakthrough new metal polymer technology to develop a small X-ray generator. Tribogenics did not disclose further details because the technology is still in its early stages of development. However, company chief scientist Carlos Camara said that Tribogenics has completely changed the X-ray equipment.
New generation portable X-ray machine model
The radical change of X-ray generators is for Tribogenics to be miniaturized and more energy-efficient. The company's name, Tribogenics, also embodies the energy that powers the X-ray generator—grinding the electricity generated by electricity generation. Tribogenics' X-ray generators use the same concept to self-generate power, so only a minimal amount of external power is required to maintain the operation of a portable X-ray machine.
True portable X-ray machines still take several years to come out, and Tribogenics believes that this type of portable X-ray machine will be more widely used. A picture on the Tribogenics website shows a physical model of the X-ray machine. The picture shows a portable X-ray machine sized to the size of a computer screen is scanning the chest of a man lying on the ground. This X-ray machine is connected to a computer to display scanning information.
The ultimate goal of Tribogenics is to introduce a X-ray machine that can be carried around. The company is currently focusing on the development of X-ray fluorescence (secondary X-rays for detecting and analyzing chemicals, heavy metals, and other compounds). . Founder fund partner Bruce Gibney led Tribogenic's round of financing. He said: "X-rays have many indispensable applications in various fields such as material analysis and medicine. Nevertheless, X-ray-generating equipment has not undergone revolutionary changes for a century."
