Rate My Professor Peter Kench

Professor Kench's research focuses on medical image optimisation and perception, radiation dose management in computed tomography and nuclear medicine, PET/CT and SPECT/CT imaging, infection prevention and control in medical imaging, and medical health profession education. He has produced 93 peer-reviewed publications garnering 1,272 citations. Notable works include 'Infection prevention and control (IPC) curriculum in universities offering medical imaging programs' (2024), 'Extracardiac Thoracoabdominal Atherosclerosis in Heart Transplant Candidates is not Associated with Standard Modifiable Cardiovascular Risk Factors' (2024), 'Carotid plaque dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging normalised signal intensity reproducibly differs between plaque and vessel wall' (2024), 'Knowledge, attitudes, and practice of infection control in radiation therapy departments' (2024), 'Experiences of medical physicists and radiographers with automated dose monitoring software tools in computed tomography' (2024), and 'Precision imaging—its impact on image quality and diagnostic performance in cardiac SPECT' (2016). He received the Young Investigator Award from the Austrian Society for Nuclear Medicine. Additional contributions include funded projects such as the Short-term visitor facilitation grant from the Chinese Studies Centre (2017) and supervision of higher degree research students. His scholarship impacts clinical imaging protocols, patient safety, and professional training in the field.
