Flat-panel digital detector developer dpiX of Palo Alto, CA, is opening a new manufacturing facility to meet the growing demand for sensors.
The new facility will be located in Colorado Springs, CO, and will employ about 125 people, including engineers and fab operators. The company said demand is coming not only from medical imaging, but also from other industries that are recognizing the benefits of converting from x-ray film and other fluoroscopic x-ray techniques.
dpiX has been producing amorphous silicon digital detectors for the medical market since 1993. Originally part of Xerox PARC, the company is now owned by a consortium of medical imaging vendors.

![Representative example of a 16-year-old male patient with underlying X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy. (A, B) Paired anteroposterior (AP) chest radiograph and dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) report shows lumbar spine (L1 through L4) areal bone mineral density (BMD). The DXA report was reformatted for anonymization and improved readability. The patient had low BMD (Z score ≤ −2.0). (C) Model (chest radiography [CXR]–BMD) output shows the predicted raw BMD and Z score in comparison with the DXA reference standard, together with interpretability analyses using Shapley additive explanations (SHAP) and gradient-weighted class activation maps. The patient was classified as having low BMD, consistent with the reference standard.
