Very cool! No doubt that price tag will make you pucker.
To: Red Badger
ABOUT! EFFING! TIME!!!!!
Lets now get it to work with MRI, or some other non radiation based process. See all the squishy bits without the rads. All the way down to blood chemistry and gasses.
Where are the star trek diagnostic beds?
No more decision branch testing that run$ up the dollar$. Go in, lie down, scanner runs, and complete summary comes out, or data can be stored for later evaluation.
YMMV

One of those things that made you stop and wonder why that was thought of before.
What a cool breakthrough!

This would be great if it’s as good as an MRI.
The bad news is they are doing press releases even though it isn’t available yet.

Technology used to detect/tract particle collision is tricky

The technology is being commercialised by New Zealand company MARS Bioimaging, linked to the universities of Otago and Canterbury which helped develop it. IPO?....................

Great. Now my Mammogram will undoubtedly wind up as a Centerfold on The Interwebs! *SMIRK*
I think it’s cool technology, but I would STILL like my Flying Car. I’ve been waiting since 1960!

The CERN technology, dubbed Medipix, works like a camera detecting and counting individual sub-atomic particles as they collide with pixels while its shutter is open.So, the subatomic particles collide with individual LED computer monitor elements.
Interesting.

No. Just ME! I am an excellent driver. No moving violation tickets and no accidents since I started at 16. :)
I DID run over a squirrel the other day, but I don’t think we’re running out of squirrels. ;)

Eventually they will have a ‘real time’ full color x-ray like the old fluoroscopes, only safer.................

I hit a squirrel on the way to work yesterday. It had been hit by the car in front of me, and I put it out of its misery..............

The CERN technology, dubbed Medipix, works like a camera detecting and counting individual sub-atomic particles as they collide with pixels while its shutter is open. This is a frustrating statement: ALL image sensors count individual sub-atomic particles - photons, at least - as they collide with pixels while their shutter is open!
A little bit of further digging online turns up that they are somehow using detailed spectral information, not just the traditional magnitude information within a given X-ray spectral range. Still, though, details are scant.
