معرفی
Roger Fulton is a Professor of Medical and Preclinical Imaging at the University of Sydney and a Principal Nuclear Medicine Physics Specialist at Westmead Hospital's Department of Medical Physics. He is part of the Brain and Mind Centre and leads the Physics and Biomodelling team. His roles include Conjoint Professor in Medical Radiation Sciences, RHD student supervision, and coordination of the MRTY5134 (Computed Tomography Theory) and MRTY2107 (Imaging Technology 2) units of study.
He holds a PhD in Applied Physics. His career has spanned collaborations with institutions like the Research Center Julich (Germany), Massachusetts General Hospital (USA), and the International Atomic Energy Agency (Austria). Professional recognitions include Fellow of ACPSEM, Senior IEEE Membership, and Chair of the Nuclear Medical Imaging Sciences Council (IEEE).
Research interests focus on motion tracking/correction for SPECT, PET, and CT imaging, including patent innovations and leadership in radiation dose reduction techniques. He has secured $9.2M in competitive grants since 2004 and contributed to global standards through IAEA initiatives.
Grants and advising: Over $9.2M in grants since 2004, advising PhD student Bader ALOUFI on liver imaging kinetics. His work bridges hardware engineering (e.g., Intel RealSense depth cameras) with software solutions (neural networks, Bayesian methods) to enhance imaging accuracy and reduce patient motion artifacts.
