The company is later renamed to Analogic Corporation in 1967.[5] While at Analogic, Gordon and his engineering team conceived and developed the first digital waveform analyzing and computing instrumentation; "instant imaging" Computed Tomography (CT) system; portable, mobile CT scanner; and the first three-dimensional, multi-slice, dual-energy explosive detection CT system, among many other pioneering products.[6]
The company opened a manufacturing facility in Shanghai, China, in December 2009.[7]
Analogic Corporation was acquired in 2018 by an affiliate of private equity firm Altaris Capital Partners.[8][9]
