@ideogram @sunguramy yeah this is not really true either. JPL developed software that went on to be used in MRIs and CT scans. Hence the NASA article. The scanning technology was invented by a guy in the states in 1963.... But the first useable CT scanner was developed in the UK by EMI.

Do explain? Did Allan MacLeod Cormack work at JPL?

@ideogram @sunguramy Sorry I wasn't clear I was trying not to write an essay. JPL developed digital topographic software for rock analysis, this was a first and used in scanners worldwide. Cormack developed the original theory and Hounsfield made the first practical scanner. As is usual in science one person built on another.
