The Medipix spectral x-ray detector technology was originally developed at CERN for the LHC and modified for medical applications; it is the result of 20+ years of collaborative innovation.
MARS scanners go beyond the traditional black-and-white CT to produce color images where different materials can be separated. In the images above, metal, soft tissue, fat and bone are all being identified. We have a commercial small bore scanner and are currently developing a human-scale machine.
