Dr. Hendrick is a Clinical Professor of Radiology at the University of Colorado - Denver, Anschutz School of Medicine. A board-certified diagnostic medical physicist, he was involved in the initial clinical application of magnetic resonance imaging, its application to breast imaging, and the development and evaluation of digital mammography. He helped establish the American College of Radiology's Mammography Accreditation, MRI Accreditation, Stereotactic Breast Biopsy Accreditation, and Breast MRI Accreditation programs and helped define American College of Radiology and FDA federal standards for mammography equipment and quality control. He is the lead author on all four editions of the American College of Radiology's Mammography Quality Control Manuals and was a charter member of the FDA's Mammography Quality Assurance Advisory Committee. He was principal investigator on the first trials of digital mammography, first with U.S. Army funding, and later was co-principal investigator of the NCI-sponsored ACRIN DMIST screening trial of digital mammography. His research focuses on improving breast cancer detection using new technologies and on improving the quality of existing breast imaging technologies.
