Background
Dr. Whiting worked in industrial R&D for over 20 years, beginning in the areas of non-impact printing and optical disk recording at the 3M Company. He then moved to the Eastman Kodak Company, contributing to the development of digital radiography and medical imaging science. He joined the Electronic Radiology Lab at MIR in 1997.
Research Interests
Dr. Whiting’s research interests are the application of imaging science and medical physics to digital systems, particularly Computed Radiography (CR) and Computed Tomography (CT), with the goal of optimizing the image information content relevant for clinical diagnostic interpretation.
