Foxconn teams up with Nanox to make futuristic X-ray machines
Foxconn announced it has invested in Israel-based startup Nanox, to produce futurist and affordable X-ray machines. Apart from investing $26 million, the Taiwanese company will also help with manufacturing these machines.
The X-ray machine, called Nanox.arc, looks quite cool and only weighs around 70 kg. So, it's very portable as compared to traditional X-ray machines that usually weigh a couple of hundred kilos
Nanox said the idea is to make available where the traditional hospitals or clinics are not available. Apart from X-ray, the device will also support other scans such as CT, mammography, fluoroscopy, and angiogram.
