Dr. Dean Chapman is a Professor at the University of Saskatchewan's College of Medicine. His research primarily focuses on Medical Biological Applications of synchrotron radiation, particularly in the area of x-ray imaging. He investigates diffraction enhanced imaging (DEI) technology which utilizes x-ray refraction, scattering, and absorption to improve image contrast, especially for soft tissue imaging which poses challenges for conventional x-ray radiography. His work demonstrates a significant advancement, achieving a contrast factor 33 times higher than traditional methods in breast cancer specimen imaging. Dr. Chapman is dedicated to understanding contrast mechanisms and independently extracting them from imaging systems through computer modeling of tissue systems. His research also extends to the development of laboratory-based DEI systems and exploring potential clinical applications. He has contributed to theoretical modeling and experimental measurements concerning DEI contrast sources, and continues to explore innovative imaging methods such as computed tomography applying refraction and absorption properties. His background in x-ray optics complements his research interests in synchrotron radiation applications.
