Ignac Fogelman

Fogelman obtained an MD degree at the Medicine Department of the Glasgow Royal Infirmary in Scotland, where he worked with Dr Iain Boyle and Dr Rodney Bessent. His research interests included, but were not limited to, evaluation and development of techniques for the assessment of bone mineral density, mainly using dual-photon absorptiometry (DPA) and dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) scanners.

He was appointed as a Consultant Physician in the Nuclear Medicine Department at Guy’s Hospital in 1983. He set-up the first osteoporosis-related bone screening service in the UK. He started working at King's College London (KCL) during mid-1992 until he died. He became a full professor in 1996. He retired from NHS in 2015.

Ignac was also a former board member and trustee of National Osteoporosis Society. He also chaired the board of examiners for masters course in Nuclear Medicine at KCL.

He started publishing research his work during 1977,{{Cite web|last=|first=|date=|title=Scopus old profile -Fogelman, Ignac|url=https://www.scopus.com/authid/detail.uri?authorId=7102691488|archive-url=|archive-date=|access-date=2020-06-06|website=www.scopus.com}} and published more than 500 scientific documents during his career with over 18,700 citations.{{Cite web|last=|first=|date=|title=Scopus new profile -Fogelman, Ignac|url=https://www.scopus.com/authid/detail.uri?authorId=57035682600|archive-url=|archive-date=|access-date=2020-06-06|website=www.scopus.com}} According to Scopus, he has an h-index of 67 as for mid-2020.{{Cite web|title=Scopus preview - Scopus - Author details (Fogelman, Ignac)|url=https://www.scopus.com/authid/detail.uri?authorId=7102691488|access-date=2020-07-08|website=www.scopus.com}} He contributed to 15 books throughout his career.
