The technologies and scientific advances behind high-energy physics - through developments in accelerators, detectors and computing - have historically contributed to healthcare.

CERN contributes to medical innovation through its cutting-edge technologies, competencies and know-how: these are being used in areas related to medical diagnostics and imaging, therapy, dosimetry, as well as digital technologies for health applications.

In this talk, Benjamin Frisch will discuss the close link between medicine and physics and give an overview of CERN’s contributions to healthcare.
