XRT develops and manufactures X-ray imaging systems optimised for phase contrast (PCI). The Company also licenses its technology as applications solutions to partners world-wide.

About Us

XRT leads the world in the practical application of laboratory scale X-ray phase-contrast imaging, micro CT and phase-contrast image processing.

Absorption contrast has been the accepted X-ray imaging modality for the last 100 years, recently however phase-contrast has become well recognised as being strong where absorption contrast is weak and It is well known that phase-contrast is particularly useful for X-ray imaging of structures made from weakly absorbing materials.
