Episode 4: Zooming in – particle physics and the future of medical imaging
During the Covid-19 pandemic, a team of European researchers saw a critical gap: we didn’t have the right tools to understand what was happening inside the body. Hierarchical Phase Contrast Tomography (HiP-CT) is a new imaging technology that allows entire human organs to be scanned in 3D, in unprecedented detail. Alisha speaks with the researchers who pioneered this innovation, uncovering what it revealed about Covid-19 and what it could mean for the future of medicine.
