CMT Medical Technologies
was founded in 1984 by a group of scientists from the Technion - Israel Institute
of Technology and Tel-Aviv University whose goal was to develop and market
products for advanced medical applications. CMT soon focused its efforts
exclusively on medical imaging and experimented with a variety of sales and
marketing channels. Today, CMT is a dynamic international company with agents
and distributors around the world. The Company’s 3,000+ clinical installations
worldwide provide firm proof of CMT’s emergence from its academic past to the
forefront of medical imaging. Our primary goals are to anticipate and meet
clinical needs, and ensure that our systems are used to their maximum capability
for maximum patient benefit.
CMT is located in Yoqneam, Israel, a dynamic center of high-tech and
science-based activity. Israel is a top global center for general and medical
technology development: the world’s largest technology companies, such as IBM,
Intel, Philips, General Electric, Motorola and Microsoft, and all major medical
device manufacturers all operate local R&D and/or manufacturing centers or
subsidiaries.
Interdisciplinary Expertise
From state-of-the-art CMT front-end technology come unsurpassed clinical images,
the ultimate goal of any medical imaging system. Behind this technology lie the
knowledge, skills and talent of our employees, most of whom are highly skilled
scientists, engineers and technicians, with proven experience in real-time digital
image processing, digital signal processing, medical imaging, X-ray and detector
physics and clinical applications. Their interdisciplinary know-how in radiation
physics, advanced electronics and computer-controlled mechanics is key to the
technological edge of CMT's products.
Strong Market Presence
CMT has pursued its global strategy in the midst of a quickly expanding
international medical imaging market. CMT equipment serves the medical
imaging community across the entire globe, in both sophisticated and emerging
markets throughout North and South America, Asia and Europe. The Company
maintains comprehensive sales and service infrastructures worldwide and is
highly active in the fastest growing imaging markets, including the People's
Republic of China and South Korea.
CMT's sales of digital image processing systems for X-ray equipment have shown
continuous growth since 1990. In the United States, CMT has a strong presence
in Digital Radiography rooms as well as retrofit digital systems for R&F and
Angiography equipment. The Company is particularly active in the Far East where
cost effective DR rooms and upgrades of R&F and angiography suites to digital
are in demand due to limited budgets.
Innovative Research & Development
For more than 20 years, the name CMT has been synonymous with technological
innovation. Since its founding, CMT has pioneered many original solutions,
some of which were later widely adopted by the industry. CMT introduced the
first pixel-by-pixel motion correction in 1985, maximum opacification techniques
in 1987, low-noise road mapping in 1991 and simultaneous bi-plane acquisition in 1993.
Research is a guiding force at CMT. Today, close to 40% of all CMT employees work
in interdisciplinary research and development departments. Research at CMT means
designing modern, advanced products at the forefront of medical technology,
responding to customer needs and patient comfort, and providing state-of-the-art,
cost-effective medical imaging equipment aimed at positive clinical outcomes.
Comprehensive Product Offering
CMT offers two families of systems that together meet a wide range of digital
X-ray imaging needs.
The SmartRAD family comprises state of the art Digital Radiography (DR)
systems available as integrated digital X-ray rooms in a variety of configurations
or as tailor-made retrofit solutions to upgrade film- or CR-based rooms to DR.
The SmartRAD system is also marketed as a digital subsystem for OEMs to
incorporate into their own newly manufactured X-ray rooms.
The SmartSPOT PrimaX family provides highly cost effective solutions for R&F
rooms and angiography suites. SmartSPOT systems enable hospitals to leverage
their investment in existing equipment by prolonging equipment life, accelerating
procedures, saving film and reducing patients’ exposure to radiation.
Solid Clinical Partnerships
CMT has developed strong partnerships with healthcare providers and is active in
collaborative research programs at university hospitals. CMT's medical imaging
achievements have been made possible by close cooperation with leading medical
professionals. We are proud of our contribution to the work of physicians,
researchers and healthcare managers – our partners in medical imaging.
