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.
29 paź 2021 · 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.
1 gru 2021 · Read about the history of CT: from the crazy idea of Sir Godfrey Hounsfield, the inventor of computed tomography , to the first CT scanner.
24 gru 2008 · In 1971 Godfrey Hounsfield introduced X-ray computed tomography (or CT as it is now called) at Atkinson Morley's Hospital in London. In creating CT, Hounsfield had arrived at a practical solution to the problem of creating three-dimensional transaxial tomographic images of an intact object from data obtained by passing highly focused X-ray ...
