Dean Chapman is a Professor at the College of Medicine, University of Saskatchewan, with a focus on the application of synchrotron radiation to medical biological problems, particularly in x-ray imaging. His research interests include diffraction enhanced imaging (DEI), which utilizes x-ray refraction and scattering to develop significant image contrast for soft tissue imaging. Chapman has developed a technique that improves the contrast factor by 33 times compared to conventional x-ray radiography, specifically for breast cancer specimens. His work involves not only the theoretical understanding of contrast mechanisms but also the development of laboratory-based DEI systems with potential clinical applications. His laboratory explores a variety of imaging techniques using DEI, and he works on measuring and modeling the absorption, refraction, and scattering properties of tissue samples. Additionally, he has contributed to the advancement of x-ray optics devices for synchrotron radiation applications. Chapman earned his Ph.D. from Purdue University in 1981 and a B.Sc. from Southwestern Oklahoma State University in 1975.
