About

Dr. Justin Ackers is a rising leader in the emerging field of magnetic particle imaging (MPI), with a focused expertise in cardiovascular applications. His work addresses a critical need in interventional radiology: the real-time, intraprocedural tracking of medical devices. His most-cited paper, "Bare-Metal Stent Tracking with Magnetic Particle Imaging" (2024), demonstrates a novel method for visualizing stents during placement, a technique that promises to dramatically improve precision and reduce complications in vascular procedures. While this foundational work has already garnered 5 citations, its true impact lies in its potential to accelerate MPI’s transition from the lab to the clinic. By solving the challenge of imaging metallic implants without signal interference, Ackers is helping to position MPI as a safer, radiation-free alternative to X-ray fluoroscopy for guiding interventions. His research sits at the intersection of biomedical engineering and clinical translation, marking him as a key innovator in next-generation medical imaging.
