Sean Rose, PhD

Biography

Sean Rose received his PhD in Medical Physics from the University of Chicago in 2018 and completed his diagnostic imaging physics residency at the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 2020. He joined the imaging physics team at UTHealth McGovern Medical School in early 2021. At the University of Chicago, his research focused on the optimization of iterative image reconstruction algorithms in breast CT and digital breast tomosynthesis. At the University of Wisconsin-Madison, his research focus shifted to quality and workflow improvement in Radiology, with a primary focus on CT. His current research interests include (1) the development, validation, and application of an automated repeat/reject analysis algorithm for CT using readily available DICOM metadata, (2) comparing workflows and identifying inefficiencies in CT guided interventions, (3) investigating CT usage data from multiple institutions to identify and compare common practices for distributing specialized CT exams (e.g. CT perfusion) across a fleet of scanners, and (4) CT protocol optimization. Sean is also an active member of the AAPM, currently serving on the Diagnostic Demand and Supply Working Group and the Medical Physics 3.0 Smart Expansion Subcommittee.
