1919 Godfrey Newbold Hounsfield born in Notthinghamshire, England 1924 Allan Macleod Cormack develops solution to the mathematical solutions in CT such as algorithm 1930 Allesandro Vallebona proposed a method to represent a single slice of the body on the radiographic film (TOPOGRAPHY) 1951 Godfrey Newbold Hounsfield joins EMI limited 1967 Godfrey Newbold Hounsfield: 1st CT scanner at EMI Research Laboratories; “EMI MARK 1” 180 translation/1 degree rotation scanning time /20 mins per slice 1970 Godfrey Newbold Hounsfield first demonstrated CT technique 1971 First Brain CT; First Clinical CT in London 1972 First clinical CT scanners were installed 1973 Dr. Robert Ledley first clinical scan in USA whole body(320x320) 1974 Godfrey Newbold Hounsfield first body scan in a prototype of the EMI body scanner “convolution & back projection” 1976 SOMATOM scanners; Fan beam principle 1978 TOPOGRAN/ SCONOGRAM 1979 Hounsfield & Cormack received Nobel prize in physics 1980 CT became wide available (1024x1024) 1981 512x512 matrix with constant image 1984 Opti CT tube with 70cm gantry opening(+/- 25 deg) 1986 Osteo CT : Bone Mineral CT Xenon CT : demonstrate regional cerebral CT flow Dexa CT(Dual Energy X-ray Absorptiometry) 1987 Continuous rotation flying focal spot; CT tube dura 351 1988 Multi Slice CT 1990 Toshiba: Spiral/ Helical CT 1991 Intuitive Mouse Driven Window Interspace/ Twin slice CT 1992 CT angiography/ multi slice/ 4 slice(0.5s) 1994 Routine sub second spiral CT 1996 spiral “4” everything.
