Mitchell M. Goodsitt is Professor Emeritus of Radiological Sciences at the University of Michigan. He has much experience in ultrasound research and teaching. His PhD thesis from the University of Wisconsin, Madison is on ultrasound imaging (A three-dimensional model for generating the texture in B-scan ultrasound images). He has authored 25 papers on ultrasound in peer-reviewed journals and 4 book chapters (The Basic Physics of Ultrasound Imaging, Ultrasound Instrumentation and the ABMs of Ultrasound, Pulse-echo System Specification, Acceptance Testing and QC, and Physics and Technology of Breast US Imaging including Automated Three-dimensional US). He has been a member of the AAPM Ultrasound Subcommittee since 1987 (co-chair from 2009-2014). He was chair of the AAPM Working Group on Quantitative B-mode Ultrasound QC Test Development from 1995-2014. He is the first author of the paper “Real-time B-mode ultrasound quality control test procedures. Report of AAPM Ultrasound Task Group No. 1,” Med Phys 1998, which remains a standard reference on this topic. He was Imaging Physics Editor of the journal Medical Physics from 2014-2020. He has participated in 14 workshops/ refresher courses on ultrasound QC. He is ABR certified in Diagnostic Radiologic Physics and is a fellow of the AAPM.
