The AAPM, through its members, meetings, and its flagship journal Medical Physics, has played an important role in the development and growth of x-ray tomography in the last 50 years. From a spate of early articles in the 1970s characterizing the first commercial computed tomography (CT) scanners through the "slice wars" of the 1990s and 2000s, the history of CT and related techniques such as tomosynthesis can readily be traced through the pages of Medical Physics and the annals of the AAPM and RSNA/AAPM Annual Meetings. In this article, the authors intend to give a brief review of the role of Medical Physics and the AAPM in CT and tomosynthesis imaging over the last few decades.
在过去50年里，美国医学物理学会（AAPM）通过其成员、会议以及旗舰期刊《医学物理》，在X射线断层扫描技术的发展和成长过程中发挥了重要作用。从20世纪70年代一系列描述首批商用计算机断层扫描（CT）扫描仪的早期文章，到20世纪90年代和21世纪初的“切片大战”，CT及断层合成等相关技术的历史，都能通过《医学物理》杂志以及AAPM和RSNA/AAPM年会的编年史轻松追溯。在本文中，作者旨在简要回顾《医学物理》和AAPM在过去几十年CT及断层合成成像中的作用。
