Question

The 1879 Nobel Prize winners for Medicine, Sir Godfrey Hounsfield and Allan Cormack, were neither doctors nor physiologists. For what did they win the Prize?
​

Answer 1

Answer:

for the development of computer assisted tomography.

Explanation:

The 1979 Nobel Prize winners for Medicine, Sir Godfrey Hounsfield and Allan Cormack won the prize "for the development of computer-assisted tomography."

This is evident in the fact that Sir Godfrey Hounsfield was an English Electrical Engineer, while Allan Cormack was widely known as a South African American physicist.

They both come together to "develop computer-assisted tomography" which is used to provide detailed information about the structure and anatomy of human organs.
