What MinXray does
MinXray, Inc. is a privately-held Northbrook, Illinois-based manufacturer of portable X-ray and digital radiography (DR) systems founded in 1967, serving medical, veterinary, and military customers across more than 90 countries. Its core products are battery-powered portable DR systems built around high-frequency X-ray generators (TR90B, TR90BH, TR90+), cesium iodide wireless flat-panel detectors, and DICOM 3.0 compliant software; flagship configurations include the Impact Wireless (medical), Enduras Wireless (veterinary), CMDR Wireless (wheeled stand-mounted), and X-Ranger Wireless (ruggedized military). The portfolio extends to stationary veterinary systems (Innovet Versa, Divario CR-T2, SA100+HF) and was expanded in 2025 with a 3-in-1 handheld ultrasound probe.
MinXray sells through direct enterprise field sales, a quote-based website storefront, and a global distributor network; it also holds DLA Troop Support contracts for U.S. military procurement and partners with organizations such as the Stop TB Partnership, Qure.ai, and KA Imaging. Notable deployments include 195 systems for Ethiopia's Ministry of Health TB screening program in 2025, 25 systems delivered to Mongolia's National TB Program (2017-2022), Guinness World Record-setting X-ray expeditions at Mount Everest (2022 and 2024 at 18,517 feet) and the Mponeng Mine in South Africa (3,740 m underground), and the first human X-ray in space aboard SpaceX's Fram2 mission in April 2025. The company has earned ISO 13485:2016 certification (April 2022).
Revenue is generated primarily through hardware sales, augmented by tiered annual technical support packages (phone/online support, repair labor, parts discounts) and the MinXCloud DICOM image archive and distribution subscription service. Qure.ai's qXR AI for chest X-ray interpretation and qTrack disease management are bundled directly onto the system laptops, enabling automated TB and respiratory-disease screening in field environments without additional hardware. The company employs 11-50 people, has no disclosed external funding or institutional ownership, and is led by President Keith Kretchmer.

MinXray competitors and assessment
Company assessmentDirect peers
- Carestream Health: Major manufacturer of digital radiography systems, including portable/wireless DR detectors and imaging software, directly competing with MinXray's Impact, CMDR, and Enduras Wireless product lines across medical and veterinary markets.
- Varex Imaging: Independent supplier of X-ray tubes, flat-panel detectors, and components used in portable DR systems — a technology peer whose detector/generator components overlap directly with MinXray's TR90 and Impact Wireless hardware.
Broad incumbents
- GE Healthcare: Global incumbent in medical imaging offering portable X-ray, ultrasound, and AI imaging platforms; competes broadly with MinXray across its medical, emergency, and military segments but is not specialized in ultra-portable DR.
- Siemens Healthineers: Large diversified medical imaging OEM with mobile/portable radiography and AI-augmented imaging portfolios; overlaps with MinXray's general medical and global-health DR use cases as part of a much broader product set.
- Fujifilm Healthcare: Manufactures portable digital X-ray systems (FDR) and PACS solutions; competes directly with MinXray's portable DR offerings while also serving much larger enterprise imaging customers.
- Philips Healthcare: Incumbent imaging vendor with mobile radiography and AI-driven diagnostic tools; competes with MinXray's hospital and remote-care workflows as part of a broader imaging-and-monitoring portfolio.
- Canon Medical Systems: Broad medical imaging OEM with portable and fixed digital radiography systems; comparable to MinXray in DR modality but addresses a much larger installed base through hospital systems worldwide.
- Hologic: Medical imaging specialist (notably mammography and women's health DR) with overlapping AI/detector capabilities; relevant peer for MinXray's broader medical DR and TB/lung-health screening adjacency.
Emerging players
- KA Imaging: Canadian X-ray detector innovator (Reveal 35C spectral detector) that partnered with MinXray for the SpaceX Fram2 mission; an emerging peer advancing spectral/dual-energy imaging that could complement or compete with MinXray's portable DR roadmap.
- Butterfly Network: Pioneer in handheld, AI-enabled point-of-care ultrasound — directly comparable to MinXray's newly launched 3-in-1 Wireless Handheld Ultrasound in target use cases (emergency, bedside, rural care) and GTM philosophy.
