HISTORY OF CT

Sir Godfrey Newbold Hounsfield CBE (28 August 1919 – 12 August 2004) was an English electrical engineer who shared the 1979 Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine with Allan McLeod Cormack for his part in developing the diagnostic technique of X-ray computed tomography (CT).

HOUNSFIELD’S SKETCH

TOPOGRAM (SCOUT) TUBE DOES NOT REVOLVE AROUND THE PATIENT

AP SCOUT TUBE TUBE SUSPENDED ABOVE PATIENT DURING SCOUT GENERATION

LAT SCOUT TUBE AT THE 90º ANGLE TO PATIENT

AXIAL SCAN TABLE STOPS AT THE SCANNING POSITION AND THE TUBE ROTATES AROUND A PATIENT.

SPIRAL PATIENT CONTINUOUSLY MOVES IN THE Z-AXIS DIRECTION WHILE THE TUBE ROTATES AROUND.
