Dr. Vedantham, along with his collaborators and colleagues, had made major contributions to breast cancer imaging including small-field digital mammography for stereotactic core-biopsies, full-field digital mammography and digital breast tomosynthesis. Currently, he is working on developing advanced tomographic techniques and systems for breast imaging and its clinical translation. This design, development and clinical translation oriented research is funded by the National Institutes of Health. He is also conducting research in interventional imaging with a focus on the development of advanced detector technology.
Dr. Vedantham is a member of several professional organizations: the American Association of Physicists in Medicine (AAPM), the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) and the International Society for Optics and Photonics (SPIE). He was elected as Fellow by the American Association of Physicists in Medicine (AAPM). Dr. Vedantham joined the University of Arizona after serving as a faculty at the Department of Radiology at the University of Massachusetts Medical School and as an adjunct faculty in biomedical engineering at Worcester Polytechnic Institute.
