New 3D colour X-rays made possible with CERN technology

Stunning new images pave the way to large-scale human trials, two years on from the first ever 3D colour human X-ray using CERN Medipix3 technology Two years after the first ever 3D colour X-ray of a living human, MARS Bioimaging have released stunning new images made using a world-first compact scanner, based on Medipix3 technology…
MARS Bioimaging is seeking partners to better enable drug development and therapy monitoring for COVID-19

The current standard for definitive diagnosis of COVID-19 is the real-time reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Background The current standard for definitive diagnosis of COVID-19 is the real-time reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). While this is a highly sensitive and specific test for COVID-19, it does not measure the severity nor progress of the associated…
Medipix: Two decades of turning technology into applications

The story of how detector components ended up in medical imaging, in art restoration and even in space. How could microchips developed for detectors at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) be used beyond high-energy physics? This was a question that led to the Medipix and Timepix families of pixel-sensor chips. Researchers saw many possible applications…
First 3D colour X-ray of a human using CERN technology

First human scanned with next–generation 3D colour scanner using CERN technology What if, instead of a black and white X-ray picture, a doctor of a cancer patient had access to colour images identifying the tissues being scanned? This colour X-ray imaging technique could produce clearer and more accurate pictures and help doctors give their patients…

Spectral imaging: from CERN to medical technologies

Ever since Röntgen discovered x-rays in 1895, physics and medicine have gone hand in hand, and advances made to particle detectors at CERN and elsewhere have continuously fuelled new developments in medical imaging.

For years, her students have been using Medipix detector – silicon-pixel particle detectors that fit…
Medipix: From particles to patients

In the 1990s, researchers on the Large Hadron Collider were assembling the last pieces of detector electronics, designed to capture high-resolution images of particle collisions quickly and with no background noise.
