Baojun Li, PhD

Research Associate Professor, Boston University Chobanian & Avedisian School of Medicine

Biography

Baojun Li received his Ph.D. from The University of Iowa in 2004 (Advisors: Prof. Joe Reinhardt, Prof. Gary Christensen). His dissertation was on 3D Nonlinear Image Registration and Warping of Pulmonary CT for Lung Atlas and Radiation Treatment Planning. From 2002 to 2009, he worked as a Senior Scientist at GE Healthcare's Applied Science Lab, where he was awarded multiple GE Management Awards for his contributions to the development of Radiographic Tomosynthesis, Low-dose CT (aka. ASiR), and Dual-energy CT (aka. Gemstone Imaging).

Baojun currently serves as a Senior Associate Editor for for Medical Physics Journal, and a manuscript reviewer for IEEE Transactions on Medical Imaging, IEEE Transactions on Biomedical Engineering, European Radiology, American Journal of Roentgenology, Academic Radiology, etc. He has served on several national committees of American Association of Physicists in Medicine, Radiological Society of North America, and American Board of Radiology, and is the liaison between AAPM and the Society of Cardiac CT. Baojun is a Fellow and a Board Director of American Association of Physicists in Medicine. He has authored more than 100 publications and 23 issued patents. He is a frequent lecturer nationally on CT technology.

Baojun Li is board certified by American Board of Radiology (Specialty: Diagnostic Medical Physics) since 2013.
