LIP’s expertise in planning, building and operating detectors for particle physics finds a natural application area in the fields of medical imaging, radiotherapy instrumentation and dosimetry. In fact, particles have been used in medicine ever since the discovery of X-rays. Today, particle accelerators and detectors are used in clinical treatments and to look inside the human body. These applications require truly multidisciplinary collaborations, combining the skills of physicists, doctors, radiologists, engineers and programmers.
