Hounsfield, Sir Godfrey Newbold Godfrey N. Hounsfield, 1979 UPI/Corbis-Bettmann (b. Aug. 28, 1919, Newark, Nottinghamshire, Eng.), English electrical engineer who shared the 1979 Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine with Allan Cormack for his part in developing the diagnostic technique of computerized axial tomography (CAT). In this technique, information obtained from X rays taken by scanners rotating around the patient are combined by a computer to yield a high-resolution image of a slice of the body. After studying electronics and radar as a member of the Royal Air Force during World War II and at Faraday House Electrical Engineering College in London, Hounsfield joined the research staff of EMI Ltd. in 1951. He led the design team that built the first all-transistor computer in Great Britain, the EMIDEC 1100, in 1958-59. Later, while investigating the problem of pattern recognition, he developed the basic idea of CAT. Hounsfield extended the capability of a computer so that it could interpret X-ray signals so as to form a two-dimensional image of a complex object such as the human head. He pursued the application of axial tomography to medical diagnosis, building a prototype head scanner and then a body scanner at EMI. Computers soon evolved to the stage needed for processing the signals from the scanners at the same rate they were obtained, and in 1972 the first clinical test of CAT scanning was performed successfully. For his work Hounsfield received numerous awards in addition to the Nobel Prize, and he was knighted in 1981.

Nominate a Scientist Former Winners, 1975 Albert Lasker Award for Clinical Medical Research Godfrey N. Hounsfield Obituary The following is an excerpt of an obituary for Dr. Hounsfield published by the New York Times on Friday, August 20, 2004. Sir Godfrey Hounsfield, a British electrical engineer whose work in creating the computerized axial tomography scanner, the CAT scan, a diagnostic tool used in hospitals worldwide, won him a Nobel Prize, died Aug. 12 at New Victoria Hospital in Kingston upon Thames, England. He was 84. The cause of death was not reported, said Dr. Ken Gray, a friend and former colleague. In work that began in the 1960's, Sir Godfrey built a machine that used X-rays to make three-dimensional images of the body's interior, allowing doctors a new and cross-sectional view of organs, bones and other tissues. In the 1970's, CAT-scan technology spread rapidly to hospitals.

Godfrey Hounsfield From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. (Redirected from Godfrey N. Hounsfield Sir Godfrey Newbold Hounsfield 28 August 12 August ) 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 computerized axial tomography (CAT). His name is immortalised in the Hounsfield scale , a quantitative measure of radiodensity used in evaluating CAT scans. The scale is defined in Hounsfield units (symbol HF ), running from air at -1000 HF, through water at HF, and up to bone at +1000 HF. edit Research While on an outing in the country, Hounsfield came up with the idea that one could determine what was inside a box by taking X-ray readings at all angles around the object. He then set to work constructing a computer that could take input from X-rays at various angles to create an image of the object in "slices". Applying this possibility to the medical field led him to propose what is now known as computerized axial tomography. At the time, Hounsfield was not aware of the work that Cormack had done on the theoretical mathematics for such a device. Hounsfield built the prototype head scanner and tested it first on a preserved human brain , then on a fresh cow brain from a butcher shop, and later on himself. In
