Over Ioannis Sechopoulos

Ioannis Sechopoulos is Professor of Advanced X-ray Imaging Methods and chair of the Advanced X-ray Tomographic Imaging (AXTI) lab of the Department of Medical Imaging and Anatomy. He also holds a part-time appointment at the Multi-Modality Medical Imaging (M3i) group of the Technical Medicine Center at the University of Twente, and is a scientific advisor of the Dutch Expert Center for Screening (LRCB). 

He obtained his Ph.D. from the Georgia Institute of Technology, in Atlanta, USA, performing research in the area of digital breast tomosynthesis at Emory University. Since then, his area of research is the development of advanced x-ray-based imaging techniques for two major aspects: the improvement of population screening, especially for breast cancer, and the development of functional imaging with x rays. This research involves performing developmental, optimization, and evaluation work in all aspects of x-ray imaging, including image acquisition, reconstruction, processing, and analysis, artificial intelligence for image formation and interpretation, as well as image perception and clinical and screening trials.

Prof. Sechopoulos is a member or chair of over 20 different task groups, working groups, subcommittees, committees, and councils of the American Association of Physicists in Medicine (AAPM), the European Federation for Organization of Medical Physics (EFOMP), the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA), the International Society for Optics and Photonics (SPIE), and the European Society of Breast Imaging (EUSOBI). He is a Deputy Editor of the international journal Medical Physics and an Editorial Board member of the international journal Radiology.
