Research Focus
Dr. John M Boone's lab focuses on developing advanced computed tomography (CT) systems that enhance imaging quality using multiple X-ray sources. The goal is to create a new X-ray tube design that integrates six sources to reduce common imaging artifacts, which can improve diagnostic capabilities in areas such as dental and general medical imaging. The lab is also engaged in partnerships with industry leaders to facilitate the commercialization of this innovative technology.
