Allan Thomas, PhD
Assistant Professor of Radiology
Allan Thomas, PhD, is an assistant professor of radiology at Mallinckrodt Institute of Radiology (MIR) at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis. He provides services as a physicist for interventional radiology, theranostic nuclear medicine and diagnostic computed tomography (CT). His research focuses on the imaging physics aspect of positron emission tomography (PET) and CT, as well as predictive dosimetry and treatment planning.
Thomas earned his master’s degree and doctorate, both in applied physics, from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock. He completed his CAMPEP-accredited diagnostic imaging physics residency/fellowship at the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center. During his time as a postdoc, he developed quality predictions and analysis plans and deformable image registration for applications in MRI-guided radiation therapy.
