Headquarters located in Pleasanton, California
Pleasanton,
CA - Real-Time Radiography, Inc. (RTR) announced today that it
has completed its merger with Exxim Computing Corporation of
Pleasanton, CA. The
combined company, headquartered in Pleasanton, CA, will
continue to conduct a portion of its research and development
activities in Israel. The surviving company is Real-Time
Radiography, Inc., incorporated in Delaware. RTR is a
developer of flat-panel detector panels used in digital X-ray
systems sold to OEM medical imaging companies.
“The
merger accelerates our ability to develop and bring to
market our novel flat panel X-ray detector systems that
will provide faster real-time digital imaging, with higher
resolution, 50% lower radiation dosing levels, at a price that
is 30-50% lower than
currently available alternatives,” said Shaul Dukeman,
President and CEO of Real-Time Radiography.
“Our products will address a market of over $1
billion annually in medical imaging applications such as:
vascular and cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, orthopedic,
urologic, and surgical. These
systems also have significant potential applications in the
homeland security and non-destructive testing markets.”
Horst
Bruning Ph.D., formerly the majority shareholder of Exxim,
becomes President of RTR’s Complementary Metal-Oxide
Semiconductor (CMOS) Division as a result of the merger.
Dr.
Bruning said, “This merger combines two key proprietary
technologies for improved digital imaging -- Exxim’s CMOS-based
readout circuitry and RTR’s Mercuric-Iodide coatings.
Together these technologies have the potential for dramatic
price/performance improvement in digital imaging, particularly
for the type of continuous dynamic digital imaging commonly
known as fluoroscopy.”
RTR
also announced the commencement of a new financing round to
further support its strategy of developing turn-key subsystem
solutions for the OEM medical imaging industry based on its
proprietary technologies.
Current investors include a multi-national combination
of sophisticated private and institutional investors. The
financing round is being managed by Ambient Advisors, LLC, an
investment banking and venture investment company based in Los
Angeles, California.

Radiography Completes $2.25M Financing Round
Jerusalem,
Israel -- Real-Time Radiography Ltd. today announced the
completion of a $2.25 million round of financing. The round
included venture capital firms and private investors
experienced in Israeli medical imaging company investments, as
well as Real-Time Radiography's previous investors, including
Millennium Materials Technologies Fund II, Risk Venture
Capital, First IsraTech Fund, Maniv BioVentures and Denali
Ventures.
The
round was directed by the TopNotch Capital investment bank,
under the management of Mr. Udi Gilboa, who specializes in
fundraising for Life Sciences companies. It took place after a
company reorganization that included a change in business
strategy, together with the appointment of Mr. Shaul Dukeman
as the new Chief Executive Officer. Mr. Dukeman is a former
Senior Corporate Vice-President of Elscint Ltd., former
President and CEO of CMT Medical Technologies Ltd. and
co-founder of TopSpin Medical Inc., another digital imaging
firm.
Mr.
Dukeman said, "This round of funding is just the first
stage towards enabling our world-class development staff to
make the RTR detector the industry gold standard of digital
radiography detectors." He explained that the
next-generation direct Digital Radiography (DR) detector will
enable production of digital X-ray pictures in real time and
with high resolution, in both dynamic (fluoroscopic) and
static imaging applications. Based on RTR's proprietary
mercuric iodide X-ray photoconductor technology, the
detector's uniqueness lies in its sensitivity, which allows
significantly lower dosages of radiation without sacrificing
image quality. Such detectors serve as the central element of
modern X-ray systems for medical imaging, Non-Destructive
Testing (NDT) in such industries as aeronautics and
semiconductors, and likewise for use in security systems such
as airport luggage scanners.
Real-Time
Radiography's detectors are currently being tested by leading
companies around the world, which are examining the
possibility of incorporating them into their own products.
