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…

More bang from your beam: reimagining X-ray conversion
The X-rays used for radiation therapy, medical imaging and many other applications are produced by slamming an electron beam into a piece of metal. The X-rays used for radiation therapy, medical imaging and many other applications are produced by slamming an electron beam into a piece of metal. Most of the energy from the beam…

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…

From CERN to the clinic
At a seminar at CERN today, Ron Heeren describes how CERN’s Timepix read-out chip might in the future be found in surgery rooms. Medipix – a family of read-out chips for particle imaging and detection developed at CERN – has proved its credentials outside the field of high-energy physics, including in art authentication and restoration.…

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.
