Extract

There is no doubt that the U.S. Office of Technology Assessment was the leading body in getting technology assessment (TA) into health care. But it was an idea whose time had come. Several people around the world had all begun to look at the same issues, particularly focusing on the introduction of computed tomography (CT) scanners. I sometimes wonder what would have happened to TA if CT scanners had not appeared just at that time!
