Rebecca Neill is a board‑certified diagnostic medical physicist with more than fifteen years of experience in clinical radiology. Rebecca and her team ensure compliance with ACR and TJC quality control requirements for computed tomography (CT) scanners at Emory Healthcare and Grady Hospital systems. She is responsible for monitoring radiation dose and image quality for two systems with combined volume approaching 500,000 diagnostic CT examinations per year.
She has led major institutional initiatives at Emory Healthcare, including implementation and ongoing management of Radimetrics enterprise dose monitoring software for CT and fluoroscopy, the development and ongoing review of a system‑wide CT electronic protocol repository, and the implementation of ZapIT Medical’s electronic quality assurance platform (700+ devices). Additionally, as a co-chair of Radiology’s CT Quality & Safety committee and a member of Emory’s Radiation Control Council, Rebecca supports Emory in efforts to consistently provide safe, high-quality care, review quality and safety concerns, collaborate with operational leadership to implement standard work practices across sites, optimize service delivery and patient experience and outcomes, and ensure regulatory compliance.
Her scholarly work includes peer‑reviewed publications in optimization of CT radiation dose and image quality, development and outcomes of quality improvement processes, achieving regulatory compliance, enterprise dose monitoring, diagnostic reference levels and population-based benchmarking.
Rebecca received the Department of Radiology and Imaging Sciences' Outstanding Service in Support of the Mission award in 2019. She graduated from the Emory Radiology Leadership Academy in 2018.
Rebecca earned her master’s degree in medical physics from the Georgia Institute of Technology.
