29 paź 2021 · Introduction. On Friday, October 1, 1971, a new procedure was performed to image a live patient’s brain. After a (lengthy) computer processing reconstruction delay, a remarkable image appeared on the screen of a monitor, sparking a revolution in medical imaging.
11 sie 2021 · Purpose: We provide a review of the key computed tomography (CT) technologies developed since the late 1980s and offer an overview of one of the future technologies under development. The focus of this review is mainly on the hardware and system development.
17 paź 2023 · From the initial 5-minute scan for a 180° rotation to today's 0.24-second scan for a 360° rotation, CT technology continues to reinvent itself. This article describes key historical milestones in CT technology from the earliest days of CT to the present, with a look toward the future of this essential imaging modality.
Computerized tomography (CT) is a method that combines radiography with computer processing that allows three-dimensional images to be created based on a sequence of two-dimensional X-ray images. The object of interest (for example, the head of a person) is placed between an emitter of X-rays and a receiver.
Chapter 6 discusses the paradigm shift between traditional diagnostic radiology and modern medical imaging with the development of computed tomography (CT) scanning, and the invention of the CT scanner by EMI.
1 sty 2011 · We could limit the story of the beginnings of computed tomography to mentioning Allan MacLeod Cormack and Godfrey Newbold Hounsfield, the authors of this groundbreaking invention, and to placing their achievements on a timeline, from Cormack’s theoretical idea...
