Kromek secures orders totalling over $1m in medical imaging. Repeat orders in key medical imaging target market of SPECT.

Kromek, the County Durham-based developer of radiation and automated biological pathogen detectors, will be exhibiting at the annual Home Office Security & Policing+ Global Security Event at the Farnborough International Exhibition and Conference Centre, 14th-16th March 2023 on Stand D65 next to the Government Zone.

Globally, the probability of a radiological or nuclear (R&N) event occurring is increasing. Past nuclear disasters such as Fukushima and Chernobyl demonstrate the cascade of short and long-term consequences that occur when decision-makers act reactively without up-to-date data. These incidents quickly spiral out of control without the necessary strategies or technology to manage them. This is especially significant with lots of international borders in proximity.

Pioneering work being championed here in the Northeast by Kromek, Newcastle-upon-Tyne Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust (“Newcastle Hospitals”), the University of Newcastle-upon-Tyne and University College London, made TV headlines this week after a further £2.5m of funding was awarded from the UK’s innovation agency, Innovate UK.

On 26th January 2023, Kromek hosted the annual Emerging Technology and Future Concept Showcase at the Royal Academy of Engineering in Central London. This year’s event was designed to demonstrate the breadth of Kromek’s Radiological and Biological Threat Detection capabilities to invited industry guests and to provide a forum for constructive debate with a range of stakeholders.
