History

Dexela was founded in 2005 to undertake the commercialisation of tomosynthesis for breast cancer screening and other low dose medical x-ray imaging applications. The company is building a portfolio of intellectual property (IPR) in this field and is a leader in the core imaging geometry, computational techniques for image reconstruction and review workstations for tomosynthesis. Dexela initially developed two products implementing this IPR:

• Tomosynthesis reconstruction software


• DexTop breast imaging diagnostic review workstation

DexTop, launched in 2008, is a powerful mammography screening workstation with tomosynthesis features built in. It is used in full-field digital mammography (FFDM) screening and can also be used to view breast tomosynthesis images.

Dexela's tomosynthesis reconstruction software is licensed to OEMs to enable tomosynthesis in mammography and other X-ray imaging products. There are currently no products incorporating Dexela's tomosynthesis reconstruction software available for sale in the USA.

At RSNA in November 2009 Dexela launched a family of novel large area CMOS X-ray detectors:

• 1512


• 2315


• 2315MAM


• 2923


• 2923MAM

These products are supplied to OEMs for integration in products used for mammography, fluoroscopy, dental CT, industrial inspection and other radiography applications. At this time Dexela also launched DexView, an image processing software library licensed to OEMs for integration into radiography systems in medical, dental and industrial markets.

At RSNA in November 2010 Dexela added a second wave of
CMOS X-ray detectors to its product family:

• 1207


• 1512NDT


• 2307


• 2923NDT

In June 2011, Dexela Limited was acquired by PerkinElmer. Dexela is now operating from its offices in London as part of PerkinElmer Medical Imaging and continues to develop, manufacture and market innovative products for radiography OEMs.

Dexela Business Model
