Wojciech B. Zbijewski

Wojciech B. Zbijewski is an Associate Professor in the Department of Biomedical Engineering at Johns Hopkins University, affiliated with the Whiting School of Engineering. As the Co-Director of the Biomedical Engineering PhD Program, his research focuses on improving quantitative diagnostic imaging techniques, particularly using x-ray modalities such as radiography, tomosynthesis, CT, and cone-beam CT. His Quantis Lab develops advanced computational models and experimental methods to optimize imaging systems for musculoskeletal and pulmonary applications, emphasizing radiomics, shape analysis, and bone health biomarkers.

Education: PhD in Medical Imaging from the University of Utrecht (2006), MS in Medical Physics from the University of Warsaw (2001).

Research Interests: His work spans quantitative imaging system optimization, bone and joint health biomarkers, and AI-driven image reconstruction. Key areas include photon-counting CT, dual-energy imaging for bone marrow edema detection, and robotic-assisted surgical navigation using real-time 3D-2D registration. His lab collaborates with the Carnegie Center for Surgical Innovation to advance clinical imaging solutions.

Notable Contributions: Led a groundbreaking program on bone health imaging (2017), pioneered motion compensation algorithms for interventional CT, and developed ultra-high-resolution CT techniques for trabecular bone analysis. His research bridges computational methods (e.g., generative AI models) with clinical applications, aiming to improve diagnostic accuracy and surgical outcomes.

Labs/Teams: Quantis Lab (focusing on advanced imaging and AI).
