About
Martin G. Wagner is a rising leader in the field of noninvasive cancer therapy, with a focused expertise in histotripsy—a novel technique that uses focused ultrasound to mechanically destroy tumors without heat, radiation, or incisions. His research centers on overcoming the key limitation of histotripsy: the poor visualization of deep or isoechoic tumors under conventional ultrasound guidance. Wagner’s major contribution is the development of C-arm cone beam CT (CBCT)-guided histotripsy systems, which integrate mobile X-ray imaging with robotic targeting to dramatically improve accuracy and reproducibility. His most cited work, "An X-Ray C-Arm Guided Automatic Targeting System for Histotripsy" (2022, 26 citations), established the foundational framework for this approach. Subsequent studies, including in vivo porcine model evaluations (2025, 5 citations) and calibration correction methods (2025, 4 citations), have systematically validated the system’s precision and clinical potential. Wagner’s work has accumulated over 45 citations in just three years, reflecting its rapid impact. By enabling reliable, image-guided histotripsy for previously inaccessible tumors, he is paving the way for broader adoption of this noninvasive therapy in oncology.
