Latest technology in 2007
The latest technology in 2007, relevant to the field of medicine, was developed by engineers at the University of Sheffield and STFC Rutherford-Appleton Laboratories. The innovative technology represents one of the largest imagers in the world to be incorporated by medical scanners of the future. It will be used by doctors for producing more sensitive and faster images of the human body at a lower cost.
The technology will provide doctors with the instant analysis of medical screening tests and the early cancer detection. The new imagers are easier to use and faster than those applied by the present-day body scanners. The technology has very large active pixel sensors with an imaging area of about 6cm square, and is meant to meet demanding clinical applications, including x-ray imaging and mammography. The silicon imager is 15 times larger in area than the most innovative Intel processors.
