Getting to Know rEBECCA NEILL
by Mohsina Yusuf
Rebecca Neill has been at Emory for 10 years and brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to her role. She received a master’s degree in medical physics and a bachelor’s degree in industrial engineering from the Georgia Institute of Technology.
She was drawn to her current profession because it combines physics with the medical field. “It would both make a meaningful impact and incorporate my interests,” Rebecca shared.
She’s currently the lead computed tomography (CT) medical physicist, a position she’s held for over three years. She first started working at Emory in radiation safety as a health physicist. After working towards board certification in diagnostic imaging, she accepted a position focusing on CT quality and safety.
No two days are the same for Rebecca. She answers questions from both technologists and radiologists, standardizes and optimizes over 200 CT protocols across Emory, investigates the root causes of high-dose CT examinations and assists sites with ACR accreditations and renewals just to name a few of her responsibilities.
When she’s not at work, she enjoys spending time with her family and their Great Pyrenees. They enjoy spending time outdoors and going on walks, wagon rides, going to the playground, riding bikes, and making s’mores in their backyard.
