History of the CT Scan

The term 'CT scan' is an abbreviation for computed tomography imaging, and is also known as CAT scanning or computed axial tomography. This procedure provides a direct image, or slices of images, of soft tissue structures. The process is used to identify and track abnormalities such as tumors, fractures, strokes, bleeding, and even infections. Areas that may be examined include - Liver - Brain - Lungs - Spleen - Pancreas - Lymph Nodes - Fatty Tissues - Bones, including the spine, facial bones, sinuses, and skull. How does it work? A patient lies on a table, which slides into a machine called a gantry. An x-ray tube then travels around the patient to create computer-generated x-ray images. An exam typically takes anywhere from 10 to 30 minutes. This includes the time to prepare for the procedure as well as for the computer to actually generate the images. The actual x-ray time is minimal. History of the CT Scan Godfrey Hounsfield and Allan Cormack invented computed tomography in 1972. Dr. Hounsfield was an engineer at EMI Laboratories in England, while Dr. Cormack was a South African-born physicist at Tufts University in Massachusetts. The men were eventually awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for their contributions to science and medicine. The first machines were dedicated to head imaging only, and were installed between 1974 and 1976. The machines were redesigned with larger openings that could examine a whole body in 1976. By 1980, the CT scan was widely available. sXVM63x9
