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.
11 sie 2021 · Abstract. 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 · Abstract. In 1971, the first patient CT examination by Ambrose and Hounsfield paved the way for not only volumetric imaging of the brain but of the entire body. 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.
The history of computed tomography is not just a series of events along a timeline. It is a comprehensive and dynamic process of expanding and enhancing the clinical value and capabilities of x-ray imaging.
We describe in some detail the development of the first CT system and then the rapid technical advances during the following years that included the entry of many companies into the field and the circumstances that led many of those entrants to exit the field.
