		Sir Godfrey NewƄold Hounsfield (28 August 1919 – 12 August 2004) was an England electrical engineer who shared the 1979 NoƄel Prize for Physiology or Medicine with Allan McLeod Cormack for his part in developing the diagnostic technique of computerized axial tomography (CAT).
		Hounsfield Ƅuilt the prototype head scanner and tested it first on a preserved human Ƅrain, then on a fresh cow Ƅrain from a Ƅutcher shop, and later on himself.
		Hounsfield was Ƅorn in Nottinghamshire, England in 1919.

		Godfrey Newbold Hounsfield was born August 28, 1919, in Newark, England, the youngest of five children of a steel-industry engineer turned farmer.
		As head of EMI's Medical Systems section, Hounsfield continued to improve the device, working to lower the radiation exposure required, sharpen the images produced, and develop larger models which could image any part of the body, not just the head.

	Godfrey N. Hounsfield, Sir Biography \| World of Anatomy and Physiology
		Sir Godfrey Hounsfield pioneered a leap forward in medical diagnosis: computerized axial tomography, popularly known as the "CAT scan." Ushering in a new and sometimes controversial era of medical technology, Hounsfield's device allowed a doctor to look inside a patient's body and examine a three-dimensional image far more detailed than a conventional x ray.
		Godfrey Newbold Hounsfield was born in Newark, England, the youngest of five children of a steel-industry engineer turned farmer.
		Hounsfield's technical interests began when, to prevent boredom, he began figuring out how the machinery on his father's farm worked.

		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.
		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.

		However, in 1967, Godfrey N. Hounsfield of England used medical X rays to reconstruct a three-dimensional image in the development of the CAT scan.
		Hounsfield (England) then, in 1972, conducted the experimental CAT scan imager that detects a brain tumor in a living patient.
		In 1979, both Cormack and Hounsfield won the Nobel Prize in physiology/ medicine for their invention of the CAT scan.

	Godfrey Hounsfield - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Sir Godfrey Newbold Hounsfield CBE (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).
		In September 1971, CAT scanning was introduced into medical practice with a successful scan on a cerebral cyst patient at Atkinson Morley's Hospital in Wimbledon, London, United Kingdom.
		The suggestion that Hounsfield lacked formal engineering education to the level of a Chartered Engineer does not reflect the nature of engineering education at the time when Hounsfield was a student, or the esteem in which Faraday House was held within the profession.
