	Allan McLeod Cormack Summary
		Allan M. Cormack is a physicist whose theoretical analysis and experiments in the fields of nuclear and particle physics, computer tomography and math led to his invention of a mathematical technique for computer-assisted X-ray tomography.
		Allan M. Cormack was a physicist whose theoretical analysis and experiments in nuclear and particle physics, computer tomography, and math led to his invention of a mathematical technique for computer-assisted x-ray tomography, which revolutionized noninvasive medical diagnosis.
		Cormack was the first to analyze the possibility of such an examination of a biological system in 1963 and 1964, and to develop the equations needed for computer-assisted x-ray reconstruction of pictures of the human brain and body.

		With the advent of computerized axial tomography (CAT or CT scanning), ever more detailed anatomic images of the brain became available for diagnostic and research purposes.
		The names of Oldendorf (in 1961) Godfrey Newbold Hounsfield and Allan McLeod Cormack (in 1973) are associated with this revolutionary innovation, which enabled much easier, safer, non-invasive, painless and (to a reasonable extent) repeatable neuro-investigation.
		Cormack and Housenfield won the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1979 for this work.

		Sir Godfrey Newbold Hounsfield (28 August 1919 – 12 August 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 computerized axial tomography (CAT).
		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.
