About
Jan-Peter Grunz is a radiological researcher whose work centers on advanced musculoskeletal imaging, with a particular focus on cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) and its clinical applications in extremity and joint trauma. His research has systematically evaluated twin robotic X-ray systems as a versatile alternative to conventional multidetector CT (MDCT), demonstrating their capacity to deliver high-resolution three-dimensional imaging at significantly reduced radiation doses — a finding with meaningful implications for patient safety. Grunz has made notable contributions to optimizing CBCT protocols across multiple anatomical sites, including the wrist, elbow, and ankle, consistently benchmarking image quality against established MDCT standards. His investigations into metal artifact reduction — a persistent challenge in post-surgical follow-up imaging — have helped clarify how iterative reconstruction techniques and tin prefiltration can enhance diagnostic accuracy in the presence of osteosynthetic implants. A particularly impactful line of his work examines how CBCT findings alter clinical treatment decisions in small bone and joint trauma, underscoring the real-world diagnostic value of the technology. With over 130 cumulative citations across his most-cited publications, Grunz has established himself as a rigorous voice in the emerging field of robotic radiography, bridging technical innovation with practical clinical utility.
