Anuj J Kapadia is an Adjunct Associate Professor in the Department of Physics at Duke University. His research focuses on developing innovative imaging modalities, particularly Neutron Stimulated Emission Computed Tomography (NSECT). This technique employs inelastic scattering of fast neutrons to generate tomographic images of the elemental composition of the human body. His work is essential for diagnosing various disorders, including iron and copper overload and liver cancers. Noteworthy ongoing projects include the experimental implementation of NSECT using neutron spectroscopy techniques, aiming to improve the system's sensitivity and reduce noise effects during scans. His research employs Monte-Carlo simulations using the GEANT4 software package to explore the effects of different parameters on reconstructed images and has implications for non-invasive diagnosis of iron overload and breast cancer.
