About

Matthias Graeser is a leading figure in the emerging field of magnetic particle imaging (MPI), with a primary focus on advancing cardiovascular applications. His most impactful work centers on the innovative use of MPI for intraprocedural imaging guidance, particularly in tracking bare-metal stents during placement—a challenge due to the material's lack of inherent MPI signal. By developing novel tracking techniques, Graeser has demonstrated how MPI can provide real-time, high-contrast visualization of stents, overcoming a critical barrier to clinical adoption. His 2024 paper on this topic has already garnered 5 citations, reflecting its timely significance. Beyond stent tracking, Graeser's research spans the broader development of MPI as a radiation-free, high-sensitivity modality for vascular interventions. His contributions are pivotal in pushing MPI from the laboratory toward practical clinical use, offering the potential to revolutionize how procedures like angioplasty are guided. For students and researchers, Graeser's work exemplifies how targeted engineering solutions can unlock the full potential of next-generation imaging technologies.
