Michael F. Mcnitt-gray PhD, DABR

Dr. Michael McNitt-Gray is a professor of Radiological Sciences in the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA. He is also the Director of the Biomedical Physics Graduate Program there. He received his PhD in Biomedical Physics from UCLA in 1993; his MSEE from Carnegie-Mellon University in 1980 and his BSEE from Washington University in St. Louis in 1979. He is ABR Certified in Diagnostic Medical Physics since 1998. His current research interests include investigations into X-ray computed tomography (CT) imaging with the goal of maximizing the information that can be extracted from the resulting image data. These activities include research into (a) the physics of CT image acquisition including estimating radiation dose and assessing image quality; and (b) image processing techniques to analyze and extract information from the resulting image data, including computer-aided detection and diagnosis (CAD).

Dr. McNitt-Gray currently serves on the ICRU Committee on Image Quality and Patient Dose in Computed Tomography, the ACR CT Accreditation Program Physics subcommittee as well as various AAPM, RSNA, and SPIE technical and scientific program committees. He also serves as a reviewer for several medical physics and radiology journals such as Medical Physics, Physics in Medicine and Biology and others.
