Education and research in medical imaging have been Dr. Rudin’s main interests at UB. In his role as Director of the CAMPEP accredited UB Medical Physics Program he has been involved in the career development of many who have had successful careers in clinical, academic, governmental as well as industrial medical physics including some of our own current faculty. His research pursuits have primarily involved the development of improved medical imaging methods to increase resolution and lower dose. His projects to develop high spatial resolution detectors for use in better guidance for the minimally invasive treatment of stroke patients during the deployment of interventional vascular devices have culminated in systems that are now in clinics world-wide. Present projects involve the vast improvement of temporal image resolution with angiographic sequences at high speeds up to 1000 frames per second where single photon counting imaging detectors are used. Other research has involved lowering patient dose by region of interest imaging where the location and equalization masks are determined using machine learning, the testing of imaging systems with patient-specific 3D printed vascular phantoms, and objective measurements of imaging system parameters. The caliber, significance, and innovation of the research are demonstrated by the numerous grants that have been received from the NIH and industrial sponsors.
