RadalyX Applications

Aerospace

There is ever increasing demand on quality and safety, but also lack of suitable imaging and testing tools. These also apply to non-destructive testing of the quality of materials used for aircraft production. TRY DOING A CT OF AEROPLANE WITH THE CURRENT TECHNOLOGY... IT DOES NOT WORK! Our Robotic Imaging System (CT) RadalyX can be used for various purposes. It can help with non-destructive inspection of large object, shaped samples, hard-to-reach places or irregular structures from different angles. Our technology also enables the development of advanced materials with a view to alleviating the environmental burden of air transport.

Automotive

The automotive industry is one of the most diverse in the world. It faces many challenges, whether technological advances, electromobility or safety. New development in the automotive industry requires advanced non-destructive technologies. Radalytica meets these requirements with its state-of-the-art robotic imaging system Radalyx, combining X-ray, ultrasound or computed tomography (CT). It can be used for inspection of welds, casings of engine units, bodywork, petrol tanks, braking systems or anything else that requires special attention.

Art

X-ray robotic imaging system provides non-destructive analysis of art as well. The major benefits of the system for art analysis are the hyperspectral X-ray imaging, superior image contrast and resolution combined with the viewing flexibility of robots. Our imaging platform measures the wavelength of X-rays, allowing differentiation of materials (pigments) in the object, not only based on their overall X-ray attenuation, but also on their elemental composition.The X-ray images can be “colourised”, emphasising different materials, or can be filtered to extract given materials only.
The unique capabilities of Radalyx enable InsightART company to provide acceptable art experts with spectral X-ray imaging of some valuable works of art.

THE CAPABILITY OF HYPERSPECTRAL SCANNING is well demonstrated in a painting from the 19th century, where the signal of lead-containing pigment could be extracted to reveal an overpainted nude. (video)

Medical field

Our systems "see the colors" of X-rays. It means they take X-ray images containing information about X-ray wavelength, and contrary to regular X-ray imaging, our devices do spectral X-ray imaging. Spectral imaging allows the recognition of different materials (tissue) types thanks to the detectors' high resolution and high sensitivity.
We also aim to bring this revolutionary robotic CT scanner and its technology into the medical field as we believe that photon counting & robotics have excellent potential to be applied in medical imaging in the future.

Research in plant sciences

Dynamic repeat collection of qualitative and quantitative information on plant phenotype - aboveground and underground parts of the plant is the key to the breeding process. The main goal is to make every aspect of farming more reliable, predictable, and sustainable. It means the search for suitable crop varieties (e.g., drought resistant crops), the development of protective and biostimulant products, technologies, and agronomic practices.
The integration of RadalyX in the phenotyping platform of PSI company opens an entirely new field of X-ray imaging application in automated plant phenotyping and breeding. The unique concept of robotic X-ray imaging extended by 3D computed tomography enables us to detect and accurately characterize plant structures hidden beneath leaves and other plant envelopes, such as evolving ears of cereals or hidden beneath the surface of the clay, such as potato tubers.
