World pioneers in the application of cosmic-ray muon tomography for subsurface exploration.
Ideon Technologies Inc. is a world pioneer in the application of cosmic-ray muon tomography. Our discovery platform provides x-ray-like visibility up to 1 km beneath the Earth’s surface, much like medical tomography images the interior of the body using x-rays.
Using proprietary detectors, imaging systems, inversion technologies, and artificial intelligence, we map the intensity of cosmic-ray muons underground and construct detailed 3D density profiles of subsurface anomalies.
Our discovery platform can identify and image anomalies such as mineral and metal deposits, air voids, caves, and other structures with density properties that contrast with the surrounding earth.
Ideon is a spin-off from TRIUMF (Canada’s national particle accelerator laboratory) at UBC.
