Title: The mathematics in computed tomography (CT)
Abstract: In 1979, the Nobel Prize for Medicine and Physiology was awarded jointly to Allan
McLeod Cormack and Godfrey Newbold Hounsfield, the two pioneering scientistengineers
primarily responsible for the development, in the 1960s and early 1970s,
of computerized axial tomography, popularly known as the CAT or CT scan.
At the seminar I will present the mathematics involved in computed tomography.
