Supported by its long history, global network, and aggressive investments into R&D, DRTECH has released a series of world-first innovations set to transform the medical imaging industry.
South Korea, on the brink of becoming one of the world’s first super-aged societies, faces both challenges and opportunities in its healthcare landscape. As the nation grapples with an aging population, the medical device sector is taking center stage in pioneering solutions.
DRTECH, a key player in the South Korean medical industry, with a primary focus on radiographic diagnostic imaging, aims to play a role in equipping the aging population to maintain health, mobility, and economic activity through the development of innovative medical devices.
“DRTECH was established with a mission to provide trust for our customers and well-being to humanity with high-quality diagnostic imaging,” says Seong hyun An, Chief Executive Officer of DRTECH.
With astrong belief that medical imaging would undergo digitalization in the future, DRTECH developed a flat panel detector – a first for the Korean market. Building upon years of expertise in directtype detector technology, the company then expanded its business by introducing indirect-type detectors to align with market trends.
“This development allowed the company to provide both direct and indirect-type detectors, catering to diverse needs in a market that demands differentiated products,” says Mr. An.
With its technological prowess and creative ideas, DRTECH became the world’s first company to release a cassette-type mammography retrofit product (RoseM). This groundbreaking product not only opened up a new market, transitioning from computed radiography (CR) to digital radiography (DR) domestically, but also gained recognition as a worldbest product in overseas markets. Furthermore, DRTECH introduced the world’s first dynamic detector utilizing IGZO panels, establishing IGZO panel integration as an industry standard for dynamic detectors. Expanding its business scope with its detector technology and sales capabilities, DRTECH has since ventured into the X-ray system business, developing and selling general radiography, mammography, and C-arm systems domestically and internationally.
“Our mammography system, AIDIA, which offers performance equivalent to the top product in the global industry, has been released and gained popularity both domestically and overseas at a competitive price,” says Mr. An. “Continuing these efforts, DRTECH aims to play a role as a pioneer in transforming market standards towards increased efficiency in diagnostic imaging through continuous innovation and technological expertise.”
