A world leading position in X-ray imaging and power amplification

Thales is the world's leading manufacturer of electron tubes, transmitters, X-ray detectors and subsystems which are at the heart of today's high-tech systems, from satellites or radars to advanced medical imaging.

We have built up industrial and technological leadership in these markets. At the same time we continue to develop new solutions to improve the performance of professional electronic systems using either X-ray imaging solutions or high power/high frequency subsystems.

X-RAY IMAGING

Thales detectors are the "eyes" of radiology systems, converting the X-rays into digital images. We're one of the world leaders in medical radiological imaging, as well as providing components for veterinary, industrial quality control and security applications.

Radiography: By combining Pixium flat-panel digital detectors with image preprocessing software, Thales provides a complete detection function that is easy to integrate in X-ray systems and delivers excellent image quality.
Fluoroscopy: Thales provides to equipment manufacturers complete X-ray imaging functions that deliver real-time high quality images. These solutions, which include image preprocessing capabilities, are based either on tubes or flat-panel detectors.
Security - NDT: Thales also provides X-ray generation and detection products for the non-destructive testing and security markets. These rugged devices are designed for a wide range of industrial applications, such as quality control and baggage inspection.
