Market Alert: Trump’s Tariff Policy Pressures Healthcare Stocks
Micro-X Ltd (ASX: MX1), the Australian leader in cold cathode X-ray technology, has completed its first Head CT imaging test system, marking a critical milestone in partnership with the Australian Stroke Alliance (ASA). The device, now ready for hospital installation, has cleared regulatory and ethics approvals, unlocking an AU$0.4 million milestone payment under the ASA contract. The pivotal validation study, to run over six to nine months, will compare Head CT images with conventional scans of stroke patients, advancing Micro-X’s goal of revolutionising stroke diagnosis.
The first system is complete, with two additional test benches under construction for further hospital trials. The Head CT incorporates breakthrough NEX mini-tube technology, high-voltage switching electronics, and a curved detector co-developed with FUJIFILM, delivering diagnostic-quality images at a fraction of conventional radiation doses. Weighing just 70kg, compared to 700kg for standard scanners, the device is designed for deployment in ambulances and aircraft, potentially transforming rapid stroke care globally.
