Move over, Canon, because scientists at the University of Lincoln have just seized the crown for world's biggest CMOS image sensor with their new Dynamic range Adjustable for Medical Imaging Technology microchip -- or 'DyNAMITe,' for short. Measuring a hefty 12.8 square cm (or about five square inches), DyNAMITe is roughly 200 times bigger than the chips you'd find in most PCs, making it the largest imager ever made on a wafer of standard, eight-inch diameter. This extra girth allows the active pixel sensor to capture images in high detail, with a 100-micrometer pitch boasting 1280 x 1280p aligned next to a 50-micron layer, carrying 2560 x 2560p.
It can also run at up to 90fps and withstand high levels of radiation for several years, making it ideal for medical imaging, including radiotherapy and mammography. Researchers say these enhanced images could help doctors detect cancer in its earliest phases, while allowing them to monitor radiotherapy treatments more closely.

technology is getting really amazing
Awesome. :)
I just luv all technology. Great post. following.
Pretty cool piece of tech. May I suggest editing the way your comments section looks on the blog though? Little hard to find at first
Cancer is such an ugly thing, news like this really makes me happy that maybe we can get a step closer to treating and curing cancer better.
good innovation
Now all we need is a robot to have sex with neckbeards.
this is really great for everyone
I hope this works out, could save a ton of lives!
I'm glad that our time has technology like this. :) Nice insight, thanks.
Things like this really give me faith in modern medicine.
If I used one of those, with the right angle of the sun... I wonder if I could just shoot a hole to china. Interested toy, how truly relevant is it though?
crazy dude. I wish this thing had been invented like 10 years ago! my father might not have gotten the cancer he has now ... or it could be treated better at least.
hopefully this will benefit people in catching cancer in its early forms and stages
whoa this is great!
let's just hope that is works
That sure is interesting. I'm no longer impressed of what science can accomplish :)
Nice to see technologly moving forward in medical sector... Usually is military shit.
Awesome blog! Was a nice read =D Keep it up, i'm enjoy reading it!
This is amazing technology, i love the direction its heading ;D
That is good news for many people.. And very informative..
Awesome...
technology will win over humanity someday.. ._.
This is great news for everyone.
wow that would be great !!!
This is amazing!
I can't believe that came from the University of Lincoln..
Wow this is really something!
Great step farward if it can.
i still think the best method of countering cancer is a healthy diet
