John M. Boone is Professor of Radiology at the University of California, Davis, and holds an appointment in the department of Biomedical Engineering as well. 

Dr. Boone has many research interests including computed tomography dosimetry, quantitative metrics for image quality assessment, cone beam CT system design, multi-x-ray source imaging systems, and computer modeling of imaging systems.  He has focused recently on breast dosimetry and on the development of breast computed tomography (bCT) for breast cancer screening and diagnostic evaluation. His lab has designed, fabricated and tested four prototype breast CT scanners, and over 1000 breast scans have been performed on these systems. His research on breast CT has focused on technical development, clinical assessment, observer performance and clinical translation.

Dr. Boone is co-author of the medical imaging textbook, the Essential Physics of Medical Imaging, and is a commissioner of the International Commission on Radiation Units (ICRU).
