LUMITRON TECHNOLOGIES

Commercialising an X-ray technique developed within Lawrence Livermore, in conjunction with the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory at Stanford University, which utilises a new type of high-energy laser light source (known as Laser-Compton) to recreate the power of a billion-dollar synchrotron, but in a device the size of a modern CT scanner that will cost a fraction of the price. Commercial Application: Aiming to replace the traditional x-ray and CT scanners in hospitals and identify problems such as tumors in far more detail. In addition, aims to create an ultra low radiation technology that can theoretically be able to treat a tumor with precision radiotherapy at the same time as imaging it.
