Opening new possibilities for medical and science
TOKYO, April 8, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Orbray Co., Ltd., has successfully developed a radiation detector utilizing its proprietary high-quality, large-diameter single-crystal diamond technology. The exceptional physical properties of diamond, including radiation hardness, allow Orbray's diamond-based radiation detector to function in high-radiation environments where conventional detectors made from other materials would degrade. In addition, the composition of diamonds is closely equivalent to that of biological tissue, making it particularly well-suited for medical applications such as radiation diagnostics and therapy. Orbray has demonstrated that its diamond-based detector can achieve high-precision measurements across a wide range of radiation types—from low-energy diagnostic X-rays to high-energy therapeutic X-rays.
Diamonds have ideal physical properties for radiation detection, including high thermal and chemical stability and fast response. Additionally, diamonds are composed of carbon, with an atomic number of six, and are particularly closely equivalent to biological tissue. Diamonds have, therefore, been extensively studied as radiation detectors in the fields of nuclear engineering, nuclear fusion, high-energy physics, and medical applications. Until the 1990s, research relied on selected natural diamonds. Since the 2000s, advancements in chemical vapor deposition (CVD) technology have enabled the synthesis of high-purity diamonds, significantly improving detector performance. Single-crystal CVD diamonds offer high sensitivity and excellent spectral characteristics. Polycrystalline CVD diamonds have been used to obtain high sensitivity by increasing the detection area. However, they exhibit lower sensitivity and inferior spectral characteristics compared to single-crystal diamonds.
Orbray announced that it had developed a 2-inch diameter high-quality (100) free-standing diamond substrate utilizing its proprietary step-flow growth method in 2021. Based on the diamond, radiation detectors (Fig. 1) have been developed in collaboration with Tokyo Metropolitan University, Tohoku University, Tohoku Institute of Technology, and Osaka University. These radiation detectors have exhibited high sensitivity and excellent spectroscopic characteristics in X-ray systems in medical settings. The detector can be scaled to the large area configuration (Fig. 2), enabling ultra-high sensitivity. Orbray will continue to develop products while conducting user evaluations.
At the Japan Radiology Congress 2025 in Yokohama Japan from April 10th to 13th, the diamond manufacturing methods and evaluation results of the detectors will be presented. The developed actual radiation detectors will be exhibited at the Exhibition held alongside there.

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia, April 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Informa Markets announces the launch of Medtec Southeast Asia 2025, the premier medical device design and manufacturing exhibition in Southeast Asia, making its debut in Malaysia.
The inaugural Medtec Southeast Asia 2025 exhibition will take place from July 16 to 18, 2025, at the Malaysia International Trade & Exhibition Centre (MITEC) in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The exhibition, organized by Informa Markets, stands as Southeast Asia's leading exhibition for medical device design and manufacturing, bringing together every aspect of the medical device manufacturing, technology and design supply chain.
With decades of experience, Informa Markets is a global leader in healthcare and medical device manufacturing exhibitions, connecting key stakeholders across the industry to drive innovation and growth.
Malaysia: Medical device manufacturing thrives in Malaysia while Southeast Asia experiences mounting demand in this sector.
Malaysia stands as Southeast Asia's top medical devices manufacturing hub, supported by strong government policies and robust infrastructure development. The medical device market in the country is projected to grow to USD 3.64 billion by 2028*, demonstrating its expanding influence within the international healthcare supply chain.
The healthcare sector in Southeast Asia experiences rapid expansion because of its aging population together with the rise of non-communicable diseases and the growth of medical tourism.
Medtec Southeast Asia 2025 serves as a meeting ground for industry leaders, manufacturers, and innovators to develop future medical device design and manufacturing directions that meet regional needs.
Medical Device Design, Manufacturing and Technology Presented in Their Entirety
The exhibition Medtec Southeast Asia 2025 encompasses all aspects of medical device manufacturing and features exhibitors who specialize in:
The exhibition creates expanded possibilities for manufacturers and suppliers to investigate new medical technology advancements while forming partnerships and discovering business prospects in one of the fastest-growing healthcare markets worldwide.
Meeting the Rising Demand for Medical Devices
"The Medtec Southeast Asia 2025 event, launching in Malaysia, represents a crucial advancement in boosting medical device manufacturing across the region. Medtec Southeast Asia operates as a sister brand alongside MD&D and MedTech World exhibitions series, providing significant industry expertise and substantial networking opportunities that foster innovation, drive technology adoption, and promote collaboration in medical device design and manufacturing," said Ms. Rungphech (Rose) Chitanuwat, Regional Portfolio Director, ASEAN at Informa Markets. Further explained that "This event will serve as a pivotal platform for industry progression and regional partnership development as Southeast Asia expands its healthcare capabilities."
Co-located with International Healthcare Week 2025
Medtec Southeast Asia will be part of International Healthcare Week 2025, co-located with CPHI Southeast Asia, Medlab Asia, and Asia Health (renowned as WHX and WHX Labs Kuala Lumpur). The concept of International Healthcare Week brings together the pharmaceutical industry, medical laboratory industry, medical device industry, and medical manufacturing technology industry to form a single, integrated healthcare ecosystem under one roof.
Through its strategic partnership with Malaysia External Trade Development Corporation (MATRADE), International Healthcare Week 2025 intends to establish Malaysia as a major hub for medical innovation and trade. The partnership will improve market access and promote investment opportunities to stimulate growth within Southeast Asia's healthcare and medical device industry.
The exhibitions are expected to bring over 1,000 exhibitors and 16,000 attendees from more than 50 countries, creating exceptional networking opportunities while facilitating business matchmaking and knowledge exchange, thereby establishing the event as a central platform for the region's healthcare sector.
Ms. Rungphech (Rose) Chitanuwat, Regional Portfolio Director, ASEAN at Informa Markets stated that "Informa Markets is dedicated to supporting the growth and development of Southeast Asia's healthcare sector. Malaysia's strong position as a medical device manufacturing hub, combined with the region's expanding healthcare demands, makes Medtec Southeast Asia 2025 a crucial business platform for industry leaders, innovators, and investors. This event will drive the advancement of medical device manufacturing and technology industries across Southeast Asia"
