PerkinElmer buys London x-ray detector firm
PerkinElmer has acquired Dexela, a London-based provider of flat-panel complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) x-ray detection technologies and services.
The acquisition of Dexela expands PerkinElmer’s current medical imaging portfolio in areas including surgery, dental CT, cardiology and mammography, as well as non-destructive testing (NDT). With the addition of the CMOS technology to the imaging portfolio, Boston-based PerkinElmer said its customers will now be able to choose between two x-ray detector technologies to optimize their system performance and meet their specific application needs.
Founded in 2005, Dexela develops and commercializes its CMOS technology portfolio, which includes hardware and software offerings for x-ray imaging. In addition to its CMOS x-ray detection units, Dexela technologies and services include its Dexela mammography workstation, the DexView image processing software, its 3D reconstruction engine software and consulting and implementation services.
Terms of the acquisition were not disclosed.
