October 2016 – iTomography is proud to announce that Prof. Alexander Katsevich, iTomography’s CTO, won The 2016 Marcus Wallenberg Prize for his work in customizing the Katsevich Algorithm for fast helical scanning of whole tree logs in collaboration with the Italian imaging equipment manufacturer Microtec, whose CEO Federico Giudiceandrea is a co-recipient of this prestigious prize.  The recipients will receive the award from the King of Sweden at a ceremony in Stockholm this October.

Through collaboration with iTomography and by utilizing our proprietary 3D image reconstruction technologies, Microtec was empowered to design and build an industry-leading whole tree log CT scanner, which produces high quality images and has throughput of 180 meters/minute, to keep pace with modern sawing lines. This industry recognition is a strong example of how commercial collaboration between iTomography and CT equipment manufacturers can result in great technical achievements and competitive advantages.
