James M. Woolfenden, MD

Professor Emeritus, Medical Imaging

I have over 40 years of experience in clinical nuclear medicine, including service as chief of nuclear medicine at the University of Arizona and medical director of Southwest PET/CT Institute. I have been an investigator on NIH-funded research projects involving instrumentation development and both preclinical and clinical applications of radionuclide imaging since 1976. Although now retired from clinical activities, I continue to work in the Center for Gamma-Ray Imaging in guiding instrumentation application and assessment in preclinical studies that have translational significance for important biomedical applications.
