2019 Outstanding Researcher
Krupinski
A professor and vice chair for research in the Departments of Radiology & Imaging Sciences, Psychology, and BioMedical Informatics at Emory University in Atlanta, Elizabeth A. Krupinski, PhD, is a renowned investigator in the arena of perception and cognition in medical imaging, studying how the image information, automated enhancements and human factors influence image interpretation. She has been the associate director of evaluation for the Arizona Telemedicine Program and co-director of the Southwest Telehealth Resource Center at the University of Arizona in Tucson where she leads multiple research initiatives on utilizing telemedicine to improve patients' access to care.
In her research, Dr. Krupinski has explored the effects of image manipulation on clinical observer performance and investigated conditions such as experience level and fatigue as factors that impact interpretive accuracy and efficiency. Her eye-tracking experiments have demonstrated how training levels and expertise, display type, and reading environment can affect performance.
Dr. Krupinski received her BA from Cornell University and her MA in experimental psychology from Montclair State University in New Jersey, where she was named Most Outstanding Psychology Graduate Student and Most Outstanding Graduate Student in Arts and Sciences. She completed her postgraduate training at the University of Pennsylvania's Department of Radiology and received her PhD, also in experimental psychology, from Temple University in Philadelphia.
An experienced leader, Dr. Krupinski is a past chair of the Society of Photo-Optical Instrumentation Engineers (SPIE), Medical Imaging Conference, past president of the American Telemedicine Association (ATA), president of the Medical Image Perception Society, and past chair of the Society for Imaging Informatics in Medicine (SIIM).
