"Although it is common to hear and see the use of the term "CT scan", the addition of the word "scan" is redundant in most use cases. For example, "Mrs JS had a CT scan of her chest" is rendered no less understandable if instead "Mrs JS had a CT of her chest" is used. Indeed the addition of the word scan here is entirely superfluous; in the same tautological vein, stating "MRI scan" is also pointless. Quite clearly "bone scan" is different as the term scan here is being used as a synonym for scintigraphy. "Mrs JS had a bone scan" is unintelligible if "Mrs JS had a bone" replaces it!"
"Before the data are presented on the screen, the conventional rescaling was made into CT numbers, expressed in dimensionless Hounsfield Units (HU), as mentioned above. CT numbers based on measurements with the EMI scanner invented by Sir Godfrey Hounsfield 6, a Nobel prize winner for his work in 1979, related the linear attenuation coefficient of a localised region with the attenuation coefficient of water, the multiplication factor of 1000 is used for CT number integers."

"The mathematical-physical theoretical principles underlying CT imaging originates from the work of the Austrian mathematician Johann Radon; he demonstrated (1917) the possibility of reconstructing a three-dimensional object through an infinite number of its two-dimensional projections (the Radon trasformation) 7."
