What Drtech does

DRTECH Co., Ltd. is a South Korea-based medical imaging company founded in 2000 and listed on the KOSDAQ exchange (ticker: 214680) since 2016, headquartered in Seongnam-si with manufacturing operations in Korea and Changzhou, China. The company designs and manufactures digital X-ray flat panel detectors using both indirect (CsI-based) and direct (a-Se-based) technologies, alongside complete integrated imaging systems covering general radiography (EXSYS), digital mammography (AIDIA), surgical C-arm (EXTRON), and industrial non-destructive testing (EXTREAM FleX, EXT series). The proprietary QX Platform integrates IGZO TFT (with 10x faster electron mobility than conventional a-Si), FOCUS CsI scintillator technology, TRUVIEW ART image reconstruction (patent-protected, 30% MTF improvement), and DEPAI AI noise reduction (CycleGAN-based, 52% SNR improvement).

DRTECH operates a capital equipment business model, generating one-time license revenue from detector and system sales through direct enterprise field sales, OEM/integrator channels (including a strategic partnership with Hologic signed in 2010), and a Retrofit/Upgrade channel exemplified by the RoseM cassette-type digital mammography upgrade. Aftermarket service revenue supplements equipment sales through global service infrastructure including a US service center. The company serves hospitals, radiology departments, breast imaging centers, surgical departments, dental and veterinary imaging OEMs, and industrial NDT clients (oil and gas, aerospace, secondary battery inspection) across 40+ countries via offices in Korea, USA, Germany, China, Japan, Vietnam, and Turkey.

Key competitive differentiation rests on the EXTREAM FleX (world's first bendable/curved industrial detector), IGZO TFT detector performance, and TRUAiD AI mammography CAD (powered by Lunit, trained on 240,000+ cases at 96-99% accuracy). The company has been recognized with the USD 50M Export Tower in 2025 (escalating from USD 10M in 2010), the Prime Minister's Award at Korea Technology Awards for the EXTRON C-arm (2025), and three international design awards for the AIDIA mammography system (IDEA 2020, Reddot 2020, iF 2020). The 2020 acquisition of Sitec Medical Co., Ltd. extended vertical integration into complete radiographic system manufacturing.
