Direct Conversion is a leading innovator of direct conversion technology for digital X-Ray imaging, delivering detectors based on Charge Integrating and Photon Counting Technology to major global X-ray and CT-equipment OEMs serving customers from the medical and industrial markets. The Company is headquartered in Stockholm, Sweden, with a total of 64 employees in Sweden, Finland, UK and Germany.
X-ray detectors (mostly embedded in OEM system equipment) are an integrated and critical part within the “x-ray imaging chain”, determining image quality and inspection speed. X-ray and CT-inspection system solutions assist customers from the global automotive, consumer electronics, EMS, industrial electronics, casting, medical and aerospace/defense industry to achieve and sustain the highest quality standards for critical parts and advanced components/materials manufactured within large-scale series production. Medical applications for DC detectors include dental and orthopedics as well as whole body scans.
Direct Conversion controls the whole detector product value chain and IP, including ASIC design, wafer processing, bump bonding, sensor, and final detector assembly (including firmware) – offering cutting-edge detectors for digital X-Ray imaging to leading OEMs on a global scale.
In April 2019, Direct Conversion was sold to publicly listed Varex Imaging (VREX), the world’s largest independent supplier of X-ray tubes and image processing solutions.
