Hounsfield incorrectly gave this date as 1951 when he wrote his autobiography which is available on the Nobel Prize website. The correct date is 10 October 1949 as stated in a biography of Hounsfield.<sup id="cite_ref-GNH_biography_15-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-GNH_biography-15"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>15<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> At EMI, he became interested in <a href="/wiki/Computer" title="Computer">computers</a> and in 1958, he helped design the first commercially available all-<a href="/wiki/Transistor" title="Transistor">transistor</a> computer made in Great Britain: the <a href="/wiki/EMIDEC_1100" title="EMIDEC 1100">EMIDEC 1100</a>. Shortly afterwards, he began work on the CT scanner at EMI. He continued to improve CT scanning, introducing a whole-body scanner in 1975, and was senior researcher (and after his retirement in 1984, consultant) to the laboratories. </p><p>While on an outing in the country, Hounsfield came up with the idea that one could determine what was inside a box by taking X-ray readings at all angles around the object. He then set to work constructing a computer that could take input from X-rays at various angles to create an image of the object in "slices". Applying this idea to the medical field led him to propose what is now known as computed tomography. At the time, Hounsfield was not aware of the work that Cormack had done on the theoretical mathematics for such a device. Hounsfield built a prototype head scanner and tested it first on a preserved <a href="/wiki/Human_brain" title="Human brain">human brain</a>, then on a fresh cow <a href="/wiki/Brain" title="Brain">brain</a> from a butcher’s shop, and later on himself.
