Where this comes from

Abstract

In 1962, a new English rock-and-roll band named The Beatles signed a recording contract with Electric & Music Industries (EMI). The Beatles were so financially successful that EMI was able to fund research and development in other divisions of the company; in particular, the work of an enterprising young engineer named Godfrey Hounsfield. His groundbreaking work in x-ray imaging produced the first commercially available head-only CT scanner, and a Nobel Prize.
