2 mars 1972 - CT scans revolutionise the way doctors examine the body
Description:
Computerised tomography (CT) scanners produce three-dimensional images from a large series of two-dimensional X-rays.The first CT scanner was dreamt up in England in 1967 by Godfrey Newbold Hounsfield, becoming a reality in 1972. His concept will go on to win him a Nobel Prize alongside the American Allan McLeod Cormack, who developed the same idea across the Atlantic.
Since then CT scanners have developed enormously, but the principle remains the same.
