CT Physics Demystified: Leveraging Spectral CT for Enhanced Diagnostic Value
Patricia G. Collins, PhD, DABR
12:30-1:15 p.m. on June 5, 2025 in Moss Auditorium
Reception to precede at 12 p.m.
The lecture will discuss the use of the tin filter for spectral shaping, as well as dual-energy imaging, and the clinical applications of each. If time allows, there will be a short discussion on photon-counting CT.
About the Lecturer — Patricia Collins, PhD
Patricia G. Collins, PhD, DABR joined the Department of Radiology and Medical Imaging as a Diagnostic Medical Physicist in the fall of 2010, shortly after receiving her PhD in Biomedical Engineering from the University of Virginia. As a graduate student she worked as a research assistant in the Department of Radiology, focusing on X-ray and nuclear medicine imaging of the breast and improved guidance techniques for breast surgery. Since joining the diagnostic physics group, Patty has broadened her scope of work to include general radiography, computed tomography (CT), angiography, fluoroscopy, and nuclear medicine. She is also actively involved in the Yittrium-90 microsphere program. Additionally, she provides instruction to the radiology residents in the areas of radiological physics and diagnostic imaging.
