About
dpiX
Headquartered
in Palo Alto, California, dpiX has provided high-resolution
imaging solutions to some of the world's most demanding medical,
industrial and military markets which are on the cutting edge of
digital imaging. Our unique amorphous silicon technology transcends
the limits of conventional imaging.
Committed to Quality and Reliability
Best
in class technology is the cornerstone that enables dpiX a-Si sensor
array products.
With
the cornerstone firmly in place, a foundation was required to build
the robust structure required of a world class design and manufacturing
organization.
"The
ISO 9001:2000 standard provides a set of requirements that help
ensure that effective business practices are implemented and consistently
executed. At the same time, the standard allows companies
the latitude to develop a Quality Management System that is best
suited to their business needs and corporate objectives."
Terri Pederson, Vice President of Quality & Reliability
In
early 2003, dpiX selected the ISO 9001:2000 standard as the foundation
on which to build a comprehensive Quality Management System (QMS).
Seven
months after dpiX embarked on its quest to achieve ISO 9001:2000
registration, dpiX became a registered ISO company. Most importantly,
dpiX made the rapid transition from a predominately R & D company
to a high volume, design and manufacturing company that puts customers
and quality first.
Through
the application of the dpiX Quality Policy, and ISO required QMS
procedures for document and record control, internal audit, corrective
and preventative action, and Management review, dpiX continues to
lead the way in the design and manufacture of reliable, quality
a-Si sensor arrays.

Foundation of Innovation at Xerox PARC
Our
technology is founded upon the legendary Xerox PARC research program,
established in 1970 to create the "office of the future" and the
"architecture of information." In the mid-1980s PARC scientists
developed page size amorphous silicon (a-Si) image sensor arrays
for high speed copiers. In the early 1990s PARC scientists developed
the first high resolution color active matrix liquid crystal display
(AMLCD). dpiX produced high definition LCDs for state-of-the-art
military cockpit applications until 2001. By the mid-1990s PARC
scientists had produced X-ray sensors using amorphous silicon. Shipments
of large area amorphous silicon sensor arrays for industrial use
began in 1997. Further developments of these synergistic technologies
have evolved into today's high resolution, large area amorphous
silicon sensors.
 Extensive
Uses in Medical Imaging
dpiX
has provided sensors to systems integrators for use in medical applications
since 1998. Our sensors are used in image subsystems for radiography,
fluoroscopy, cardiology and portal imaging. Doctors and clinicians
have benefited from the significant improvements in the versatility
and productivity of real-time X-ray images. They have been able
to do on-the-spot adjustments while viewing live X-ray images in
real-time. Another advantage has been the ability to share visual
data in real-time with colleagues in remote locations for immediate
analysis and consultation. Patients have benefited by a reduction
of the X-ray dose required to capture an image. Economic benefits
of dpiX products have been derived from a reduction in storage costs,
zero degradation of stored images and virtually eliminating the
need for retakes. Production of images without the chemical requirements
for film processing results in significant cost, environmental and
time-saving benefits.
The
Masters of Imaging
dpiX is taking digital image detection into the 21st century with
new and unprecedented advances in image quality, resolution, clarity
and speed.
