About
Dr. Meritxell Garcia is a pioneering medical physicist whose research centers on advancing three-dimensional x-ray imaging technologies, with a particular focus on cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) and its clinical applications. Her most-cited work, "Initial evaluation of image performance of a 3-D x-ray system" (2018, 13 citations), established a foundational framework for assessing prototype 3-D x-ray systems through rigorous phantom-based comparisons with conventional CT. This study introduced critical methodologies for evaluating image quality in robotic twin x-ray systems, directly impacting the development of more accessible, lower-dose imaging alternatives. Dr. Garcia’s contributions bridge the gap between experimental prototype systems and clinical translation, providing essential benchmarks for spatial resolution, contrast, and artifact characterization. Her work has been instrumental in validating the diagnostic potential of 3-D tomography for applications where traditional CT may be impractical or excessive. By systematically quantifying performance metrics, she has helped define the technical requirements for next-generation intraoperative and point-of-care imaging devices. Her research continues to influence the design of compact, robotic CBCT systems, promising to expand access to high-quality 3-D imaging while reducing radiation exposure.
