Very cool! No doubt that price tag will make you pucker.

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.

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.

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.

I got my first-ever cat scan last week and as it was being reviewed I asked why they aren’t in color and got this funny look. Hello????

More amazing technology.
I was at the dentist and they have a MRI machine that takes detail images of your skull, just the the part where your teeth are. The dentist says they are not interested in the rest..... They also have a laser that detects decay, you hear a sound like what a metal detector emits.

They also have a intraoral camera that takes many photos of your teeth and mouth then combines all photos in near realtime into a 3d image that can be then rotated. They used a laptop from Alienware. My bad teeth paid for it all!

This beats biting down on a bullet and drinking whiskey for the pain.
