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…

Timepix detectors track cosmic radiation on the ISS
Timepix detectors are USB-powered particle trackers based on Medipix technology developed at CERN. Timepix detectors are USB-powered particle trackers based on Medipix technology developed at CERN. Each detector consists of the Medipix chip coupled to a silicon sensor and incorporated into a readout system about the size of a USB pen drive, developed at the…

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.
