Alexander W. Scott Ii PhD

Alexander W. Scott II, PhD, is a Medical Physicist at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, California. His professional focus is on maximizing the diagnostic quality of radiologic images while minimizing radiation dose to patients. To achieve this goal, Dr. Scott conducts radiological surveys of clinical imaging equipment, performs research to improve understanding of radiation dose in clinical practice, and actively educates physicians and healthcare professionals in radiological physics to promote safe and effective imaging.

Dr. Scott earned his PhD in Particle Physics from the University of Minnesota, where he developed a strong analytical foundation in problem-solving, computational methods, and radiation simulation. His doctoral training provided extensive experience in computer coding, data analysis, and modeling physical systems, skills that translate directly to clinical medical physics applications.

He completed his Diagnostic Medical Physics residency at the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB), gaining hands-on experience with radiological imaging equipment, image quality assessment, and radiation dose optimization and control across a wide range of diagnostic modalities.

Currently, Dr. Scott works alongside leading experts at Cedars-Sinai to deliver outstanding clinical physics services while contributing to ongoing efforts to advance radiation safety, imaging performance, and patient-centered care through innovation and education.
