Computerized axial tomography scanners

Development of the first computer-based medical instrument, the computerized axial tomography scanner, revolutionized cHnical approaches to noninvasive diagnostic imaging procedures, which now include magnetic resonance imaging and positron emission tomography as well. 

X-RAY SCAN AND OTHER MEDICAL IMAGERY. Introduction of computerized axial tomography in the form of the X-ray cat scanner (CAT) was a major event in the history of diagnostic medicine. The technology is also referred simply as computerized tomography (CT). 

During the last two years Atlantic Scientific Corporation have been working with a large Ohio based company that manufactures brain and body scanners for hospitals. These are commonly called CAT scanners (Computerized Axial Tomography), and each consists of a large computer and several other microprocessor systems.
