For the final part of our series celebrating 50 years of physics at ISOLDE, we see what impact research at ISOLDE can have on society
Spectral imaging is an emerging technology in the medical field allowing colour imaging during CT scans. Exciting – but how is it related to CERN?
Crystal Clear was founded in 1991 to provide crystal detectors for particle physics – it has since had a wider impact on society
Superconducting technology developed for the HL-LHC and FCC could improve our understanding of the human brain
CERN colleagues are warmly invited to help the Knowledge Transfer team welcome visitors and advertise CERN’s science and technology
The annual meeting of ENLIGHT, which focuses on particle therapy for cancer treatment, was held in the Netherlands
New toolbox, released by CERN and University of Bath collaboration, has applications in medical imaging and cancer diagnosis
CERN has developed an accelerator just two metres long to be used in hospitals for medical imaging and the treatment of cancer
The head of CERN's Medical Application Programme addresses a medical conference 60 years after the first use of protons to treat cancer
Follow the action at the ICTR-PHE conference via the conference blog
Construction began today on the CERN MEDICIS research facility, which will make radioactive isotopes for medical applications
At a National Instruments conference in Texas last week, CERN received three awards for excellence in systems design
