Answer:

Sir Godfrey Hounsfield invented the CT scan.

Explanation:

Godfrey Newbold Hounsfield is a British engineer known for having designed the first CT scanner in 1972, while he was an engineer for the British company EMI.

During a field trip, Hounsfield had the idea that it could be determined the contents of a box from radiographic shots taken from different angles around the box. He then began building a computer that took radiographic shots of the same object from different angles of view to reconstruct an image of the object in slices. The application of this idea to the medical field leads him to propose what is today called CT scan. At this time, Hounsfield ignored that Allan McLeod Cormack established the mathematical theory describing such a device. Cormack and Hounsfield each received half the Nobel Prize in medicine in 1979 for the development of computer-assisted tomography.

What Are the Similarities of The proclamation 1763 and the Boston Massacre in The American Revolution?
Nostrana [21]
Most native tribes had allied with the French during the conflict, and they soon found themselves dissatisfied by British rule. In May 1763, just a few months after the formal conclusion of the Seven Years’ War, a pan-tribal confederacy led by Ottawa chief Pontiac rose up in rebellion. His warriors attacked a dozen British forts, capturing eight of them, and raided numerous frontier settlements. Hundreds died in the process. In response, the British handed out smallpox-infected blankets to Pontiac’s followers. Moreover, a gang of whites known as the Paxton Boys massacred 20 defenseless Native Americans who had nothing to do with the fighting.
