Mars Bioimaging

Custom cabinet for a spectral CT imaging system

Design and manufacture of a specialised, lead-lined cabinet for advanced medical imaging.

Challenge:

Mars Bioimaging required a movable, lead-lined cabinet to house a full spectral X-ray CT imaging system.

The unit needed to:

safely contain radiation
integrate with sensitive equipment
remain practical to use and move

What we did:

We worked closely with the Mars Bioimaging team to develop and manufacture a solution that met both technical and practical requirements.

This involved:

designing and fabricating the cabinet structure
integrating lead lining for shielding
resolving practical considerations around access, movement, and usability

THE OUTCOME

The finished cabinet provided a safe, functional housing solution for the CT imaging system, supporting its use in a research and development environment.

The project demonstrates our ability to deliver complex, high-spec fabrication work where accuracy, functionality, and collaboration are critical.

Client feedback

“FabTek were very proactive in suggesting ways to enhance or simplify the design to improve functionality, appearance, and reduce fabrication costs.
The result is a modular CT scanner that is reliable and easy to service anywhere in the world.”
