Charles A. Mistretta is an American medical physicist.
Mistretta earned a doctoral degree in high energy physics from Harvard University in 1968.[1][2] He joined the faculty of the University of Wisconsin–Madison in 1971, began researching medical imaging, and later held the J. R. Cameron Professorship of Medical Physics and Radiology.[3]
Mistretta shared the 1998 J. Allyn Taylor International Prize in Medicine with Graeme Bydder.[4] In 2004, Mistretta was elected a fellow of the American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering.[5] He became a member of the United States National Academy of Engineering in 2014.[6] In 2017, the International Commission on Radiation Units and Measurements awarded Mistretta the Gray Medal.[7]
