Did you know CT imaging exists because of the Beatles?! The inventor of CT is Godfrey Hounsfield, a British electrical engineer who worked on radar systems at EMI. EMI was The Beatles' record label company. Because they were flush with profits due to The Beatles' recent success, they were willing to provide funds for Hounsfield's experimental idea of creating an image of an object with sliced X-ray imaging back in 1967. By 1969, Hounsfield built a prototype head scanner and tested it first on a preserved human brain. On October 1, 1971, the first live patient was successfully examined with a CT scanner: a woman with a suspected brain tumor. It's amazing how disparate events can come together (pun intended :)) to change the world and save lives!
