Ocean View, Delaware, July 07, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- X-Ray Security Screening System Market size is forecast to reach USD 3.42 billion by 2023; as per a new research report by Global Market Insights, Inc. Flexible security system installation and expansion for countering terror threats is also forecast to propel growth. The presence of an attractive civil aviation landscape across the Asia Pacific, Russia and Middle East industries offers avenues for x-ray security screening system market size Asia Pacific x-ray security screening system market size is set to witness high growth. This can be primarily attributed to increasing demand across the Chinese civil aviation and railway sectors. http://goo.gl/x3UwTr
The global market for industrial x-ray inspection systems is projected to cross US$591.9 million by the year 2017 Industrial x-ray inspection systems have emerged as one of the most lucrative segments of the global inspection systems market, primarily owing to the non-intrusive method of screening. The industrial x-ray inspection systems market is projected to scale new heights in the years to come with the market moving from conventional film-based systems to the innovative and highly advanced digital systems Flat panel detector (FPD) integrated systems particularly digital radiography (DR) machines, that fulfill high resolution and faster processing requirements would be viewed as the next-generation x-ray inspection systems of the future The growing demand for compact size products is driving the need for industrial x-ray systems that offer high resolution, for quality analysis. Asia-Pacific and the US represent leading markets worldwide, as stated by the new research report on Industrial X-ray Inspection Systems. http://goo.gl/R1c1ym
X-Ray Security Screening: Technologies, Industry and Global Market – 2014-2020 2014-2020 Cumulative Market: $14.8 Billion The growth will be boosted by three main drivers: 1.

The global Portable X-ray and CT Scan Devices market is expected to reach USD 8,408.0 million by 2020 January 31, 2014 | Mark Evans Grad View Research reports: "The global Portable X-ray and CT Scan Devices market is expected to reach USD 8,408.0 million by 2020, according to a new study by Grand View Research, Inc. Rising demand for bedside imaging, home healthcare and the growing use of CT scan devices for anatomical confirmation and to assess the accuracy of medical implants during and post interventional medical procedures are two of the most significant growth drivers of this market. The market will also be driven by factors such as rising prevalence of target diseases such as cardiovascular, dental and orthopedic disorders and cancer, growing global base of geriatric population and the consequent rise in the number of medical procedures especially the ones involving medical implants." Clearly this growth in the portable 2D and 3D imaging markets is of significant interest to Adaptix, as it is exactly the niche market that our 1st generation product is aimed at. http://goo.gl/y1R2DI
ThreatScan®-PLD portable X-ray system …perhaps prototype Precision Linescan Detector (PLD) The PLD will integrate the patented MAP Materials Classification technology from IBEX Innovations Limited (IBEX) into the ThreatScan® portable X-ray detector panel to offer a unique combination of performance and value for money. The development project is planned to take 12 months…….. Around about now It is expected that the integration of the IBEX MAP technology will significantly enhance both image quality and the ability of the system to discriminate between different materials, increasing the overall threat detection capability. An outline license agreement, under which Image Scan has been granted exclusive access to the MAP technology for the security portable X-ray inspection market, has been signed with IBEX IBEX is also developing applications of the MAP technology for use in other areas including non-destructive testing and medical imaging. This grant award, and the accompanying license agreement with IBEX form an important step in our plans to further enhance and extend our range of portable X-ray systems. We want to differentiate Image Scan from other suppliers and bringing this unique technology to the market will certainly achieve that aim." Neil Loxley, CEO of IBEX Innovations Limited, commented: "We are delighted to be working with Image Scan to integrate the IBEX MAP technology into their range of advanced portable X-ray security machines. We are confident that the combination of Image Scan's advanced portable security systems with the IBEX materials classification technology will create a significant and important new capability for police, security and border control agencies world-wide." http://goo.gl/AFxZ1Y New Auditors http://goo.gl/q04WF1
