1995
Geoffrey Harding (*1948)
Hamburg, GER
Physicists. Basic theoretical work on the use of backscattered X-rays of the Compton effect for the generation of slice images and the further development of the process for industrial serial production.
1995
Albert L. Baert (*1931)
Leuven, BEL
Radiologist. As one of the first radiologists Baert recognized the special significance of the computed tomography and used the new technique at an early stage. By bringing together different European Roentgen societies he acquired special merits in the European integration of radiology. Especially, he supported Eastern European countries.
