Cobham Advanced Electronic Solutions (CAES) received a $48 million contract to support the medical imaging industry. The company will provide application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs) and product support under the deal.
The firm's ASICs have been used in CT scanners for nearly 20 years. The company's radiation-tolerant, mixed-signal ASICs are located at the front end of the imaging systems and provide the low-noise, high-linearity performance required to reduce imaging artifacts.
