CERN detector could help to improve head tumour radiotherapy
Scientists are testing a new device to help target cancer cells more accurately in ion radiotherapy of head and neck tumours, which could help limit the treatment’s side effects. It includes Timepix3, a small particle detector developed at CERN Particle detectors like the ones used by physicists at CERN can have wide applications beyond fundamental…
