About Us

XRT leads the world in the practical application of laboratory scale X-ray phase contrast imaging and are the only company that can deliver X-ray phase contrast imaging in commercially available products. We develop and manufacture X-ray systems optimised for phase contrast imaging and also license our technology as applications solutions to partners worldwide. We have an extensive portfolio of patents in phase contrast imaging and have an ongoing program of research and development.

License application solutions include: -

  • Design consultancy and licensed use of X-ray phase contrast imaging technology.
  • Prototype X-ray system design and build.
  • Technology transfer for standard products.
  • Software for phase retrieval, 3D reconstruction etc.

Products include: -
