Humanray & Rayence in RSNA 2011



The 97th Scientific Assembly and Annual Meeting of the Radiological Society of North America, Inc. (RSNA 2011), which was held in Chicago from the 27th of Nov. to the 2nd of Dec. this year, ended in great salvo. Kudos to the organizing committee, to the lecturers, to the exhibitors, to the medical practitioners, radiologists, and to everyone in attendance that made this year's RSNA congress a great success. Speaking of attendance, it was reported that *RSNA 2011 nudged up by 2% in attendance compared to last year.

We at VATECH Networks are so proud to be a part of this event as two of VATECH Networks' subsidiary companies, Humanray Co., Ltd. and Rayence Co., Ltd. showcased their latest products.  Sizgraphy, the world's first screening mammography system developed by Humanray, was on exhibit. Sizgraphy features a single-chip, 24X30cm complimentary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) detector, which uses a single wafer. This captures high resolution images that enables detection of minuscule lesions and micro calcifications in breast tissues.  Know more about Sizgraphy mammography system by visiting the Sizgraphy product website http://www.sizgraphy.com/.

Also on exhibit were the Xmaru series Medical Flat Panel X-ray Detectors (FPXD) by Rayence.  Xmaru Series comes in four choices; Xmaru1717, Xmaru1210P, Xmaru1417P, and Xmaru1717P. To know more about the descriptions, features, specifications, dimensions, and sample images, as well as information about the rest of the products of Rayence, please visit Rayence website http://www.rayence.com/products/medical_solution/xmaru/index.asp

To all of you who visited booths #519 and #219 of Humanray and Rayence, respectively, at Hall D in Lakeside Center, McCormick Place, we really appreciated your presence. We look forward to hearing from you again. For inquiries about the products of Humanray and Rayence, please refer to the websites stated above, or better yet, email the following in-charge:

Humanray’s Mammography Launch in RSNA 2011

- Realizes high-resolution & cost-efficiency with CMOS detector
- Full-scale overseas launch through RSNA 2011 exhibition

Humanray Co., Ltd. (CEO: Mr. Se Hong Oh, / www.humanray.com , www.sizgraphy.com), a company specializing in Core X-ray Solutions., will participate in RSNA 2011 (Radiological Society of North America) Scientific Assembly and Annual Meeting to be held in McCormick Place, Chicago USA on the 27th of November to the 2nd of December 2011 with an exhibit of its Digital Mammography System (Product Name: Sizgraphy, see photo).


Sizgraphy is the world’s first screening mammography product that features a high resolution CMOS Detector with a 70um pixel size that enables precise detection of minuscule lesions and micro calcifications in breast tissues. Also, image acquisition is low-dose[1] but with superior image quality. More particularly, it realizes a large 24X30cm Single Chip CMOS Detector technology with a single wafer[2] that makes for a highly accurate detection.

In CMOS technology, the attenuated x-ray of an object is converted to light on the scintillator and then the imaging detector captures that light. So Indirect type CMOS based detection method is the most advanced technology that produces the highest signal to noise ratio with greater efficiency than other known technologies. And Humanray adopted this CMOS technology to FFDM (Full Field Digital Mammography) for the first time ever worldwide.

Mr. Oh, the CEO of Humanray, has said that “Because we are a provider that has both R&D and manufacturing capabilities for CMOS detector technology, our FFDM, Sizgraphy, has a more competitive price compared to other companies that are well-known for mammography sales”.
“RSNA 2011 will be the kick-off point for overseas sales of Mammography to countries like South America, Australia, South Africa, and so on.”

RSNA (Radiological Society of North America) is the largest gathering of over 60,000 medical professionals visiting each year. Humanray is now on its 3rd year of exhibit participation. 

<About Humanray >

[1] Dose: The intensity/quantity of exposed radiation. Radiation Dose

[2] To optimize detection accuracy, a whole wafer is used on the detector instead of small cut wafers. This eliminates marks visible from the bonding process.

The Establishment of VATECH Networks

In May of 2011, a group of companies called VATECH Networks was formally launched. VATECH Networks was established after a spin-off of 8 companies that used to be divisions of VATECH.

To get a glimpse of what's behind VATECH Networks, let's go back in history.



In March of 1992, a Korean company named VATECH Sytem Co., Ltd. was established. VATECH System Co., Ltd. was a developer of Industrial X-ray systems. During those times, development of X-ray imaging systems for healthcare was yet untapped domestically. Drawing upon this niche market, VATECH System decided to venture into developing X-ray systems for the healthcare industry. One of the biggest precursor at that time was that in the overseas dental X-ray imaging market, a transition from analog (film) to digital was taking place . Thus, VATECH expected that a demand for such transition in the domestic (Korea) market needs to be addressed.  Subsequently, PaX-300, the first ever digital  dental panoramic X-ray system made in Korea, was successfully launched ten years since the company started.  In 2002, the company switched business to the medical x-ray field and changed its name to VATECH Co., Ltd.

In 2005, VATECH launched Picasso Trio, the first product to be introduced worldwide to have a 3 in 1 characteristic. A 3 in 1 system is a digital dental x-ray imaging product that has Panoramic, Cephalometric, & CT units all compounded in one system.

VATECH have secured an outstanding 80% share of the domestic market demand for 3 in 1 products. Overseas, Picasso Trio was first introduced in the International Dental Show (IDS 2005), the world's largest dental exhibition, in Germany.

VATECH's growth doubled annually. Subsequently in 2006, VATECH Co., Ltd. was publicly listed and traded in KOSDAQ (#043150).   In 2007, VATECH expanded business coverage into the Medical Field with the development of Medical Detectors. VATECH and Samsung Electronics co-developed the high-precision Flat Panel X-ray Detectors (FPXD).

In 2009, VATECH and Yonsei University formed (VYSION), a research agreement  for dental imaging technology.  VATECH was recognized domestically for being a world class company with world class products by MKE Korea, and a Prime Minister's Medical Device award. VATECH was also a Small & Medium Enterprise Awardee by the Foundation for Industrial Development. Internationally, PaX-Primo, a digital dental panoramic X-ray imaging equipment made by VATECH, was  given design recognitions from such prestigious design giving bodies as the German iF Design Awards and Japan GD Good Design Awards. Also, in this year, we saw the domestic sales and service division of VATECH spun-off and become VATECH KOREA Co., Ltd. along with a factory expansion.

In 2010, VATECH Co., Ltd. was a 50 Million Dollars Export Awardee by the Korean government, as well an awardee during the Taxpayer's Day of the Ministry of Finance.  VATECH products received more recognitions overseas such as the US MDEA Gold Award for PaX-Reve3D, Japan's GD Good Design Award for PaX-Uni3D, and a German RedDot Award for PaX-Primo. With the company growing, each specialized divisions of VATECH such as the manufacturing, R&D, Software Development, Sensor Technology, Sales & Services for dental and medical fields have started to spin-off and form into subsidiary companies.

By the early part of 2011, the Global business division of VATECH spun-off and become VATECH Global Co., Ltd., while the DR Division spun-off and became RAYENCE Co., Ltd. 

Along with the celebration of the 9th founding anniversary of VATECH last May 27th 2011, the VATECH Networks was formally introduced. VATECH Networks presented eight (8) subsidiary companies working along in accordance with the mission & vision of VATECH Networks. VATECH Networks create innovative medical devices that ensure a healthier humanity. And working to become the leading-edge medical device provider that represents Korea in the global market.

The eight (8) subsidiary companies that make up the VATECH Networks varies in business areas and specializations such as sales & services; comprehensive devices manufacturing services; manufacturing of dental X-ray systems; diagnostic mammography systems, and veterinary X-ray systems; sensor and software development.

The following is the synopsis of the 8 subsidiary companies that make up VATECH Networks:

VATECH Co., Ltd.   :                      Dental X-ray Systems Manufacturing Company

HUMANRAY Co., Ltd.  :                Core X-ray Solutions Provider
