The company’s founder and CEO Ran Poliakine said: “We are honoured to have Foxconn join other world leaders, Fujifilm and SK Telecom, in investing in our vision of eradicating cancer.

“Nanox has achieved a technological breakthrough by digitizing traditional X-rays. Now we are ready to take a giant leap forward in making it possible to provide one scan per person, per year, for preventative measures.”

The imaging service will include an image repository, radiologist matching, online and offline diagnostics review and annotation, connectivity to diagnostic assistive artificial intelligence (AI) systems, billing and reporting.

Nanox’s digital X-ray source technology, combined with its planned software solution, should enable it to build medical imaging systems at significantly lower costs than existing medical imaging systems. This could promote earlier detection of medical conditions discoverable by X-ray and X-ray based imaged like computed tomography, mammography, fluoroscopy and angiogram.
