In a major scientific breakthrough, a team of scientists has performed the first-ever 3-D, colour X-ray on a human. According to Europe's CERN physics laboratory, the team relied on a new imaging technique that promises to improve the field of medical diagnostics. The new imaging device, which is based on the traditional black-and-white X-ray, uses particle-tracking technology developed for CERN's Large Hadron Collider. The world-famous team of scientists at CERN had discovered the elusive Higgs Boson particle in 2012.
"This colour X-ray imaging technique could produce clearer and more accurate pictures and help doctors give their patients more accurate diagnoses," CERN said in a statement. The new CERN imaging technology works like a camera detecting and counting individual sub-atomic particles as they collide with pixels while its shutter is open. This allows for high-resolution,…
