		Sir Godfrey Hounsfield, who died on August 12 aged 84, led the team which developed Britain's first big solid-state computer before inventing the computerised axial tomography (CAT) scanner for use in clinical diagnosis; in recognition of this latter achievement he was awarded the 1979 Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine.
		Godfrey Newbold Hounsfield, the youngest of five children of a farmer near Newark in Nottinghamshire, was born on August 28 1919.

		Godfrey Newbold Hounsfield CBE, FRS, (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 X-ray computed tomography (CT).
		Hounsfield was born in Nottinghamshire, England in 1919.
		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.

		The Hounsfield scale is a quantitative scale for describing radiodensity.
		It was established by Sir Godfrey Newbold Hounsfield, one of the principal engineers and developers of computed axial tomography (CAT, or CT scans).
		Specifically, Hounsfield defined 0 Hounsfield units (HU) as the radiodensity of distilled water at standard pressure and temperature, and -1000 HU as the radiodensity of air.

		Sir Godfrey Newbold Hounsfield, a British electrical engineer and Nobel laureate who pioneered the development of the CAT scan, died on Aug. 12.
		Although Hounsfield was born near Newark, England, and raised on a farm, his interest in science developed at an early age.
		In 1967, Hounsfield was taking a walk through the countryside when he first dreamed of a machine that could process hundreds of X-ray beams to obtain an internal display of a box.

		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.

		Computed tomography (CT), originally known as computed axial tomography (CAT) and body section roentgenography, is a medical imaging method employing tomography where digital geometry processing is used to generate a three-dimensional image of the internals of an object from a large series of two-dimensional X-ray images taken around a single axis of rotation.
		The CT system was invented by Godfrey Newbold Hounsfield in Hayes, England at THORN EMI Central Research Laboratories (which spawned Sensaura, now owned by Creative Technology) using X-rays.
		X-ray slice data is generated using an X-ray source that rotates around the object; X-ray sensors are positioned on the opposite side of the circle from the X-ray source.
