Advisers & FriendsJ. Anthony Seibert, Ph.D.
|
Clinical/Research InterestsDr. Seibert's role at the clinical level involves acceptance testing and quality control for radiological imaging equipment used in the departments of radiology, surgery and medicine at UC Davis Medical Center. An expert in digital radiography, Dr. Seibert specializes in using digital techniques and quantitative applications for digital x-ray fluorography, projection imaging, mammography, computed tomography (CT) and ultrasound/magnetic resonance imaging. He also contributes to the department's implementation of electronic imaging, informatics and image-processing capabilities for the UC Davis Health System. Dr. Seibert assists in writing specifications for new equipment, determines shielding specifications for x-ray room installations to protect patients and staff, trains physicians, radiology residents and graduate students in diagnostic imaging physics, and provides dosimetry estimates for radiological examinations. He is co-author of a popular physics text, The Essential Physics of Medical Imaging along with other faculty in the department, and is extensively involved in physics education and training. On the national scene, Dr. Seibert served as the chair of the Society for Computer Applications in Radiology in 2004-2005, takes an active role in continuing professional development and education for the American Association of Physicists in Medicine, is active in developing guidelines and technical standards for the American College of Radiology, has served as chair of the physics program for the Radiological Society of North America, is an associate editor for the journal Radiology, and is chair of the American Board of Radiology's committee on written examinations for diagnostic radiological physics. |
