About
Tara Ghazi is a biomedical engineer and medical physicist whose research focuses on advancing cone-beam breast CT imaging through innovative hardware solutions that reduce radiation dose and improve image quality. Her most-cited work introduces a novel duo of beam modulation and shielding designed to minimize scatter acquisition—a major source of image degradation in cone-beam breast CT. By addressing the fundamental challenge of scattered photons, which can compromise the frequency response of imaging systems, Ghazi’s approach offers a practical hardware alternative to software-based scatter correction methods. This work, published in 2021 and accumulating 9 citations, builds on prior simulation studies to provide experimental proof of concept, demonstrating her ability to translate theoretical insights into tangible clinical tools. Ghazi’s contributions are particularly significant for improving the safety and diagnostic accuracy of breast imaging, with potential implications for early cancer detection. Her research exemplifies the intersection of engineering innovation and patient-centered care, marking her as a rising voice in the field of medical imaging physics.
