About

Franca Genest is a leading researcher in advanced musculoskeletal imaging, with a primary focus on cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) and its application to bone microarchitecture analysis. Her most cited work, "Metal artifact reduction in ultra-high-resolution cone-beam CT imaging with a twin robotic X-ray system" (2022, 14 citations), tackles a critical challenge in orthopedic imaging: the degradation of image quality caused by metallic implants. By systematically comparing artifact levels between CBCT and multidetector CT, Genest has provided essential insights for improving post-surgical assessment of osteosynthetic hardware. Her contributions are particularly impactful for clinicians and researchers seeking to visualize fine bone structures around implants—a key step in evaluating fracture healing and implant integration. This work, though still early in its citation trajectory, demonstrates her ability to address clinically relevant problems with rigorous methodology. Genest’s research sits at the intersection of medical physics, radiology, and orthopedics, offering practical solutions for high-resolution imaging in the presence of metal. Her ongoing efforts promise to refine diagnostic accuracy in trauma and reconstructive surgery, making her a rising voice in the field of ultra-high-resolution CT imaging.
