Previous Consulting
Consulted in various areas for General Electric, Companie General de
Radiologie (CGR), Siemens, American Science and Engineering (AS&E), and engaged as an
expert witness on a number of patent infringement lawsuits as well as other legal issues
involving hospitals and imaging equipment.
Assigned as a consultant by the U.S. Department of Energy to the Comisión Nacional de
Energy Atómica (C.N.E.A.) in Buenos Aires, Argentina. The role of the C.N.E.A. is to
develop peaceful uses of nuclear energy. C.N.E.A. requested the U.S. Department of
Energy to provide them with an expert on a form of nuclear cancer therapy called boron
neutron capture therapy that is delivered by a modified nuclear reactor. C.N.E.A. operates
three nuclear research reactors in Argentina, and the one that was chosen to be modified
for this project was the RA-4 reactor located in the northern Patagonian town of San
Carlos de Bariloche.
Consulted for the U.S. Department of Energy in Argentina on two additional occasions,
that included giving lectures to medical physicists in the General Hospital in Rosario,
helping the C.N.E.A. physicists use MacNCTPlan, a treatment planning software package
developed by my students and me in the U.S., and verification of the dosimetry of the
modified neutron beam at the RA-4 research reactor.
Consulted on imaging equipment for hospitals, including equipment selection, testing, &
quality assurance procedures.
Consulted as an expert witness on a number of patent infringement lawsuits.
Consulted on the proper use and consequences of misuse of various kinds of hospital
equipment that use ionizing radiation.
