Dr. Amjad AlGhaihab joined us as a research fellow. She will be conducting dental imaging research with us and Prof Don Tyndall of the dental school. Amjad recently finished her maxillofacial radiology residency at the UNC dental school. 

Congratulations to Dr. Shuang Xu! He is starting a new job as a scientist at the Philips Healthcare 

Congratulations to Dr. Shuang Xu! He has successfully defended PhD thesis on the multisource CBCT. 

Our new paper, "A carbon nanotube x-ray source array designed for a new multisource cone beam computed tomography scanner" has just been published in Physics in Medicine and Biology. The first author, Alan, did this work when he was a undergraduate student working in our lab Click on the title to read the paper.
