about dpiX

Headquartered in Colorado Springs,  Colorado, 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.

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.
