Earlier this month medical imaging startup OXOS secured $23m in Series A funding, bringing its total funding to $45m.

The vendor, which was co-founded by an orthopaedic surgeon in 2016, is focused on the development of a handheld dynamic digital radiography system for use in orthopaedic surgery, an industry first. The funding round will help the vendor to expedite product development, as well as enable the vendor to increase the availability of its Micro C handheld device in markets across the world.

The potential for handheld X-ray in the coming years is significant, but so too are the challenges, the question is, how well equipped is Oxos to meet them?
