The Center for Virtual Imaging Trials (CVIT) had the pleasure of welcoming Dr. M Mahesh, the President of the American Association of Physicists in Medicine (AAPM) for a visit today. During his time at Duke, he met with members of the Clinical Imaging Physics Group (CIPG), the Medical Physics Graduate Program, and the CVIT team,

On July 15, Saman defended his PhD titled “Improving the Reliability of Lung Densitometry in CT Studies” and stepped into a new role as CT Senior Scientist and Collaborations Manager at Siemens Healthineers. We caught up with him to reflect on his time at CVIT, the challenges he tackled, and the lessons he is taking with

We are proud to share that our Virtual Lung Screening Trial (VLST) has been published in Medical Image Analysis, a major milestone for the CVIT and the field of medical imaging research. Why this matters Clinical imaging trials are critical to advancing medical innovation but are often expensive, time-consuming, and ethically constrained. As the national center

This year was a remarkable one for our lab, as we had the privilege of seeing seven master’s students successfully defend their theses. Their dedication, hard work, and innovative research have significantly contributed to our field, and we could not be prouder of their achievements. Each of them tackled unique and complex challenges, pushing the

We had the pleasure of hosting a group of high school students from Cary Academy High School as part of their X-Day Collaborations. During this event, students had the opportunity to choose where they wanted to visit and learn for the day, and they selected Duke Medical Physics. From the moment they arrived, our Master’s
