       Overview 
       Overview
      John A. Shepherd, PhD, CCD, CDT, is an Associate Adjunct Professor in the Department of Radiology and he is the Director of the Breast and Bone Density Imaging Group at the University of California, San Francisco. He is an expert in dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA), which measures soft tissue body compartments and bone density and bone morphometry. Dr. Shepherd received his BS in Engineering Physics from Texas Tech University in Lubbock, Texas, and he obtained his PhD in Engineering Physics from the University of Virginia in Charlottesville, Virginia, followed by a postdoctoral fellowship from Princeton University in Princeton, New Jersey.

      Dr. Shepherd’s research interests involve quantitative imaging methods for tissue composition using x-rays. His mammographic methods are used for research around the world and in the San Francisco Mammography Registry Program. Dr. Shepherd’s efforts are focused on the technical imaging aspects of the measurements of the body composition and the translation of these measurements into different fields of study. He has present and future research projects in the following areas: breast cancer risk and detection using tissue composition; molecular computed tomography (MCT); 4CDXA; quality assurance and quality control methods.
