Dr. Bahaa Ghammraoui

Bahaa Ghammraoui is a Medical Imaging Research Scientist and Regulatory Science Reviewer at the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH). His research focuses on advanced X-ray imaging technologies, including photon-counting detectors, spectral CT, phase-contrast imaging, and coherent scatter imaging. His expertise includes imaging system design, detector performance, and quantitative image quality evaluation. He conducts regulatory reviews of medical imaging devices, including CT systems, photon-counting detector–based technologies, and AI/ML-enabled imaging software. He is also involved in developing and sharing open-source physics-based simulation tools for photon-counting CT and other advanced X-ray imaging modalities through the FDA’s DIDSR GitHub. In addition, he is a professor at the University of Maryland, where he teaches Python programming, imaging physics, and image processing.
