Clinical Interests
Dr. Boone is a medical physicist with technical expertise in breast imaging, computed tomography, and radiation dose issues in diagnostic radiology.
Research/Academic Interests
Dr. Boone is a researcher in diagnostic imaging, and has focused on issues in radiation dosimetry, breast imaging, and computed tomography. He has led an effort at UC Davis for 20 years on the development of Breast CT, and this technology is now at the threshold of clinical translation. He has also worked with collaborators to develop new x-ray tube technology which may revolutionize breast tomosynthesis imaging, and other areas in diagnostic imaging.
