Triple Ring has deep domain expertise with development of X-ray systems, sources, and detectors for both medical and industrial applications. Our approach combines an experienced team of physicists, engineers, and materials scientists with dedicated infrastructure such as extensive vacuum equipment and lead-lined rooms for system development and testing. We have developed fluoroscopy, computed tomography (fan and cone-beam designs), and tomosynthesis systems for medical, dental, security screening, and industrial inspection applications with a focus on lowering X-ray dose exposure for patients and operators.

X-ray Systems: NovaRay, Inc.
Triple Ring is the sole R&D, engineering, and pilot manufacturing resource for NovaRay, Inc. Triple Ring has been responsible for all aspects of the system (Figure 1), from definition of the system architecture to the mechanical, electrical, and industrial design. The unique system uses an inverted source-detector geometry relative to traditional fluoroscopy imaging systems, a digital scanning-beam X-ray source, and a high-sensitivity detector to reduce patient exposure by 10-fold and medical staff exposure by 5-fold.
