Abstract: In 1971 Godfrey Hounsfield and his team took the first image of the human brain in vivo at Atkinson Morley Hospital in London, in order to investigate a patient with a suspected frontal lobe tumour [1]. In the same period Tim de Dombal, a surgeon at St. James Infirmary in Leeds, successfully carried out a trial of a “computer assisted diagnosis†system that successfully used statistical techniques to assess the likelihood of patients who presented with acute abdominal pain suffering from each of a number of conditions [2].
