Directed by John B. Weaver, Ph.D., the Clinical Physics Division continues to satisfy the quality control, regulatory, and radiation safety requirements of the Radiology Department, including ACR accreditation for the mammography center and the MR section, and inspections by the State of New Hampshire and the FDA. The quality of our safety programs is evidenced by the compliments we have received during annual inspections of the radiographic units and the mammography center. For special cases, such as for pregnant patients, doses from specific procedures are calculated. |
| Teaching
Dr. Weaver teaches diagnostic physics to radiology residents to satisfy that essential part of their residency requirements. Dr. Weaver also teaches parts of an introductory biomedical engineering course and a bioinformatics course at Thayer School of Engineering. In addition, he presents radiation safety lectures and teaches a board preparation course and a biennial course on the physics of imaging for cardiology fellows. Research
Research in radiological physics has been very productive. Dr. Weaver is working in several multidisciplinary groups that include faculty from the Thayer School of Engineering at Dartmouth College and the Department of Radiology (see Physics Research). |
