Washington University in St. Louis (WU)
My research focus has been in translational imaging, working with imaging scientists to develop new imaging devices or novel computer methodology applied to clinical problems in radiology. Most of my research has been in digital radiography and CT, assessing image quality and observer performance. My research has been funded by The Society for Pediatric Radiology to develop animal models to test computed radiography, funded by the Radiological Society of North America to develop cadaver models that ultimately led to NIH/STTR funding to develop a neonatal chest digital radiography phantom, currently sold by Sun Nuclear Corporation. I have corporate research collaborations with vendors to optimize exposure techniques in neonatal imaging and I have a patent with Carestream, Inc. on a noise simulator in digital radiography. I also have patents in augmented reality use in radiography.
