Biography
Ian Cunningham , Robarts Scientist of Department of Biomedical Engineering at the University of Western Ontario, Canada. 1986 PhD Medical Biophsyics, University of Toronto.
Research Interest
Paramount to achieving optimal benefits from the use of diagnostic imaging is ensuring the benefits of each procedure outweigh the risks. In diagnostic radiography this is achieved by providing the best diagnostic information while exposing patients to low acceptable exposures. Working with graduate students in the Department of Medical Biophysics and the Biomedical Engineering program, and building on a background of formal training in Engineering and Physics, Dr Cunningham's overall goal is the training of highly-skilled personnel in science and engineering through a research program at the Robarts Research Institute aimed at novel advances in a cross-disciplinary approach to the development of new detectors and applications in diagnostic radiography.
