I invested in Nano-X Imaging (NNOX), a recent IPO that claims to have a machine that is superior to CT scans at 10% of the price. I thought that sounded great. Then a report came out that the technology is bogus. You can find the report here: https://citronresearch.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/NANO-X-a-Complete-Farce-on-the-Market.pdf
I got scared and sold my investment. But I wonder if I got scared out of a good investment by a report written by someone who wanted to make money off the stock falling. I'd feel stupid if that is the case and bad for all the other investors that got duped like me. Does anyone in this community have a view on Nano-X imaging’s technology?
I decided to do my own research on the latest X ray technology. My impression is that many universities have spent 20 years working on ultrafast tabletop X-rays that are a fraction of the cost of CT scanners. I got the sense universities are still 5 years away from having a successful, low cost, X-ray imaging machine. That makes me think the critical report I linked to is right, but I wonder what experts like yourselves think.
Here is my understanding of their technology: The company claims they will soon have a prototype ultrafast X ray that will cost $10,000 to build and deliver better accuracy than CT scans using 10% as much energy. 1) 100 million nano molybdenum cones that act like electron guns. 2) MEM micro-electro-mechanical semiconductor cathodes. 3) a special x ray tube to case it. 4) a digital semiconductor chip to turn electrons on and off fast… I think this is the FED field emission display technology they say Sony used for TVs.
Thanks for your help!
