Kromek, Ltd.
Kromek is pioneering digital colour imaging for x-rays and has brought groundbreaking innovation to materials technology and advanced 3D imaging that will literally change the way in which we see the world. Kromek specialises in making semiconductor materials within the Cadmium Telluride family. These materials have significant applications as detectors of x-rays and gamma-rays, notably in medical imaging, security screening, industrial inspection, and space exploration, allowing for very precise identification of materials. Cadmium Zinc Telluride is also the material of choice as a substrate for the fabrication of infrared detectors in both civilian and military markets. In addition to its range of semiconductor materials, detector packages, and non imaging detection systems
Kromek also supplies x-ray imaging packages with multi-view capabilities. These x-ray display platforms provide real 3D x-ray imaging for the first time without specialist viewing equipment. When photogrammetric algorithms are applied to these images, three dimensional co-ordinate data is produced.
The market place opportunities for Kromek’s imaging and non-imaging technology are in the security, industrial inspection, medical, and defence sectors. These are high growth rate markets and provide exciting prospects for Kromek capability.
Amphion’s fully-diluted ownership stake in Kromek was 19.99% as of 30 June 2009, valued at US $16.2 million (June 2008: US $19.6 million).
