Godfrey Hounsfield, X-ray CT Co-Developer

Godfrey Newbold Hounsfield (1919-2004) 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 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 idea to the medical field led him to propose what is now known as computed tomography. His name is immortalized in the Hounsfield scale, a quantitative measure of radio-density used in evaluating CT scans.
