| Clinical Interests: |
Dose reduction and image quality improvement for projection and tomographic x-ray imaging |
| Research Interests: |
We are involved in the design, development, and characterization of x-ray imaging technologies based on active matrix addressing for applications including radiotherapy, radiography, fluroscopy and mammography. These development activities encompass several forms of transistor technologies as well as scintillating and photoconductive x-ray converters. The characterization efforts include empirical observer-independent performance variable determination (of modulation transfer, noise power, and detective quantum efficiency), theoretical studies of these performance variables (including Monte Carlo and Cascaded Systems modeling), and patient imaging trials. Since, 1987, our group (consisting of imaging physicists, engineers, and students) has been in the forefront of flat-panel x-ray imager development and is a recognized pioneer in this field.
