Celebrating 50 Years of CT: AAPM Virtual Museum of Medical Physics

On October 1, 1971, radiologist James Ambrose performed the first patient computed tomography scan at Atkinson Morley Hospital in the UK. Please join us in commemorating the 50th anniversary of this with the launch of a new CT gallery in the AAPM Virtual Museum of Medical Physics.

The Museum website is publicly accessible at museum.aapm.org

Please note: several galleries are tagged as “coming soon”. Some are actively under construction while others are not, and volunteers are needed to help build them. If you are interested in contributing materials to these galleries and/or aiding in their construction, please click on the CONTRIBUTORS tab.

This project was made possible by many generous individual donations to the History Committee Fund. Your continued support is greatly appreciated.
