Our industry leading team has a combined total of more than 80 years of experience in computed tomography (CT) – including the physics of CT, CT reconstruction and calibration, x-ray dose management and CT image quality.

Our expertise involves systems that collect data measurements of physical phenomena from a wide variety of measuring devices.  We develop algorithms  to calibrate the devices, establishing key results.

Developing algorithms to detect features is the key component of our machine vision and non-destructive testing services. This capability is also integral to many projects that involve calibration, image quality metrics and signal processing.

Nearly all of our projects involve image processing, in some cases producing the quality images required for our clients’ products, in other cases using acquired images to establish a key metric or conclusion.

In every system that produces or utilizes images, it is imperative to establish metrics regarding the quality of the images. As we determine the appropriate metrics for the system, we can then develop the algorithms or products that calculate those metrics from the system images.

Image reconstruction is the key component for systems (including most medical imaging systems) that acquire data and turn that data into images. We have extensive experience with the mathematical and numerical algorithms that produce quality images from that data.

In many of our projects, the solution for our client involves modeling the physical system for which data is being acquired.  Finding the parameters of those models comes under the category of an “inverse problem.”  We develop practical solutions for those inverse problems.

The image processing skills, provided by our team, are the basis for solving complex machine vision problems that typically require sophisticated geometry transforms and always require image feature detection and classification.

For many projects, it is essential to accurately model the behavior of a device that is a component of our client’s product.  We often develop algorithms that simulate the model that characterizes the device.

We have developed algorithms and products related to computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), mammography, digital imaging, radiation therapy and ultrasound.

We have developed solutions for non-destructive testing problems using x-ray, ultrasound and optical measurements as well as camera imaging.

We have evolved our capability to execute projects for which a technology solution must be developed along with the product implementation. Our proposals provide a roadmap for that strategy.

We often take the lead in producing quality project reports and technology documentation for our clients. This includes progress reports, visualization for reviews, design and test documentation consistent with any regulatory requirements.

Signal processing typically involves dealing with measurements that are inherently 1-dimensional, whereas image processing involves 2-dimensional measurements.  We have significant expertise and a large toolbox of algorithms for signal processing applications.

We have many years of detailed involvement with the physics of x-rays, providing the basis for solving problems involving the use of x-rays in image and signal processing.
