64. Godfrey N. Hounsfield - Autobiography godfrey N. hounsfield – Autobiography. I way. In company I enjoy livelywayout discussions. From Les Prix nobel 1979. http://www.nobel.se/medicine/laureates/1979/hounsfield-autobio.html

I was born and brought up near a village in Nottinghamshire and in my childhood enjoyed the freedom of the rather isolated country life. After the first world war, my father had bought a small farm, which became a marvellous playground for his five children. My two brothers and two sisters were all older than I and, as they naturally pursued their own more adult interests, this gave me the advantage of not being expected to join in, so I could go off and follow my own inclinations. During this time I was learning the hard way many fundamentals in reasoning. This was all at the expense of my schooling at Magnus Grammar School in Newark, where they tried hard to educate me but where I responded only to physics and mathematics with any ease and moderate enthusiasm. Aeroplanes interested me and at the outbreak of the second world war I joined the RAF as a volunteer reservist. I took the opportunity of studying the books which the RAF made available for Radio Mechanics and looked forward to an interesting course in Radio. After sitting a trade test I was immediately taken on as a Radar Mechanic Instructor and moved to the then RAF-occupied Royal College of Science in South Kensington and later to Cranwell Radar School. At Cranwell, in my spare time, I sat and passed the City and Guilds examination in Radio Communications. While there I also occupied myself in building large-screen oscilloscope and demonstration equipment as aids to instruction, for which I was awarded the Certificate of Merit.

SIR GODFREY HOUNDSFIELD Hounsfield, Godfrey N. (Newark, Nottinghamshire 1919), ingegnere elettrotecnico britannico. Allo scoppiare della seconda guerra mondiale, si arruolò come volontario presso la Royal Air Force. Durante il suo servizio nell’esercito, scoprì uno spiccato interesse per l’elettronica; diventò in breve tempo istruttore dei tecnici radio; fu quindi trasferito al Royal college of science e quindi alla Cranwell radar school. In questo periodo, costruì anche un particolare tipo di oscilloscopio ad ampio schermo. Dopo la guerra, ottenne il diploma del Faraday house electrical engineering college di Londra. Nel 1951 entrò nel gruppo di ricerca della EMI Ltd.; tra il 1958 e il 1959 diresse la realizzazione del primo computer a transistor della Gran Bretagna, detto EMIDEC 1100. In seguito, nel 1967 mise a punto l’EMI-scanner, un’apparecchiatura per visualizzare sezioni del corpo umano; con questo strumento, inaugurò una nuova tecnica di diagnostica medica, la tomografia computerizzata (TC) . Nel 1972 fu ottenuta la prima tomografia del corpo. Per la scoperta della TC, nel 1979 Hounsfield venne insignito, insieme al fisico sudafricano Allan Mc Leod Cormack, del premio Nobel per la medicina o la fisiologia.

Other characters Hounsfield unit, (Sir Godfrey Newbold Hounsfield, 20th century, British research scientist, Nobel prize laureate in medicine/physiology in 1979), a system to measure the attenuation coefficient of tissues in computed tomography CT . Hounsfield units are also termed CT numbers (Table 1). Also see Hounsfield unit Hounsfield unit, Table 1. Sample CT numbers for various tissues. Tissue CT number (HU) Bone Liver White matter (brain) Grey matter (brain) Blood Muscle Kidney Cerebrospinal fluid Water Fat Air In accordance with this system, lesions whose attenuation values are close to that of water are consistent with, but not specific for, cysts. Lesions composed solely or predominantly of fat produce negative CT numbers; however, some types of liposarcoma contain great amounts of fat, and some forms of lipoma reveal abundant nonfatty tissue. haematomas characteristically demonstrate inhomogeneous areas with regions of both high attenuation (approximately 50 HU) and low attenuation (approximately 10 HU) in the subacute stage and homogeneous areas of low attenuation (120 HU) in the chronic stage. The measurement of attenuation values of bone lesions may be more difficult, especially in narrow bones in which the contribution of the cortex may prohibit accurate assessment. The identification of gas in soft tissue or bone by CT is possible owing to its very low attenuation value. Gas within a vertebral body documented by CT, for example, is an important sign of ischaemic necrosis of bone. Intraosseous gas is also identified in some cases of osteomyelitis and in subchondral cysts (

Glossary A B C D ... Z A Axial The plane of section that runs from the front to the back of the body, dividing it into top and bottom parts. Also known as transaxial, cross, or transverse section. B (MRI) (B zero) is the symbol used to represent the main (constant) magnetic field of the MRI scanner. Expressed in Tesla (MRI) (B one) is the symbol used to represent the radio frequency field of the MRI system. It is produced by the RF coil at the Larmor frequency C CAT Computed Axial Tomography. Alternative name for CT, no longer used. CT Computed Tomography. Coronal The plane of section which runs from one side of the body to the other and divides the body into front and back parts. D E Electromagnet (MRI) A magnet which is magnetized by a current-carrying coil round it. These can produce much larger magnetic field than permanent magnets. F Faraday shield (MRI) A metal mesh or sheet which blocks electric fields. Faraday shields are used in most MRI rooms to prevent unwanted radio waves from entering the room and affecting the image. Also prevents RF radio waves from leaving the room and interfering with other equipment. Fourier Transform (MRI) Mathematical calculation performed in MRI which allows the computer to transform the radio signal into data that can be used to generate an image.
