Artronix

Artronix Incorporated began in 1970 as a project in a computer science class at Washington University School of Medicine in St Louis. The class designed, built and tested a 12-bit minicomputer, which later became the PC12 minicomputer. The new company entered the bio-medical computing market with a set of peripherals and software for use in Radiation Treatment Planning (see http://radiology.rsna.org/content/217/3/619.full and http://radiology.rsna.org/content/110/1/183.abstract?ijkey=0b4627e88e8f664042bd9c37c4243549b5b8b2ea&keytype2=tf_ipsecsha) and ultrasound scanning. Software for the PC12 was written in assembly language and FORTRAN; later software was written in MUMPS. The company was located in two buildings in the Hanley Industrial Park off South Hanley Road in Maplewood, Missouri.
