Using their patented carbon nanotube X-ray cold emitter technology, they&#8217;ve invented Rover, a mobile X-ray machine that weighs less than 220 lbs and is ruggedized for high intensity use in field hospitals and remote locations. <\/p>\n<p>But the technology can do much more. It could transform airport security across America, enabling faster and more reliable X-ray baggage screening, reimagining airport checkpoints. <\/p>\n<p>&#034;Today, we&#8217;re expanding our US operations,&#034; says <span class=\"xn-person\">Peter Rowland<\/span>, Micro-X Australian CEO.<\/p>\n<p>&#034;Our new <span class=\"xn-location\">SeaTac<\/span> facility will be a center of excellence for imaging product development that will revolutionize medical, defense, and security x-ray imaging,&#034; says Brian Gonzales CEO of Micro-X&#8217;s rapidly expanding US operations. <\/p>\n<p>&#034;Our mobile X-ray machines are available now for use in public and military hospitals. They&#8217;re lighter, cheaper, more robust, and more precise than our competitors.&#034;<\/p>\n<p>The patented invention that makes all these ideas possible is inside our 3.3 lb x-ray tube which replaces a conventional x-ray tube weighing more than 44 lbs. <\/p>\n<p><b>Read the full media release at <\/b><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/micro-x.com\/revolutionary-x-ray-technology-from-australia-to-transform-american-hospitals-and-airports\/\" rel=\"nofollow\"><b>https:\/\/micro-x.com\/revolutionary-x-ray-technology-from-australia-to-transform-american-hospitals-and-airports\/<\/b><\/a><b>&#160;<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Related Links :<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"2d0y8KrhW7\"><p><a href=\"https:\/\/micro-x.com\/\">Home<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><iframe class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; clip: rect(1px, 1px, 1px, 1px);\" src=\"https:\/\/micro-x.com\/embed\/#?secret=2d0y8KrhW7\" data-secret=\"2d0y8KrhW7\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" title=\"&#8220;Home&#8221; &#8212; Micro-X\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SeaTac chosen for Micro-X Inc&#8217;s USA headquartersOfficial Opening at 10 am PDT, Friday May 28855 S 192nd Street, Suite B600,&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[105],"tags":[],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/staging.fnarena.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/94060"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/staging.fnarena.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/staging.fnarena.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/staging.fnarena.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/staging.fnarena.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=94060"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/staging.fnarena.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/94060\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/staging.fnarena.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=94060"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/staging.fnarena.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=94060"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/staging.fnarena.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=94060"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
