9. Development of CT Data tapes sent away overnight for image reconstruction Paper (CT numbers) or polaroid (Scan numbers 200 and 215, images A and B refer to the two slices imaged simultaneously) Early Clinical Images - AMH Scanner

10. Development of CT CT scanner development 1971 Scanner is now in the science museum

11. Development of CT Godfrey Hounsfield – Nobel Speech 1979 Fig. 14 shows a picture from the experiment. The heart chambers can be discerned by a little intravenous injected contrast media. A further promising field may be the detection of the coronary arteries. …. It may be possible to detect these under special conditions of scanning.
