CT scanners: the industry behind the science.

Abstract

The history of computerized tomography scanners is an interesting study. Probably no medical technology has made such a spectacular splash as has this one. Coming on the scene just as medical costs were skyrocketing, it has been the subject of much controversy over its medical value in terms of other diagnostic technologies and its high cost. This article details some of the behind-the-scenes activity in the development and production of computerized tomography units.
