The primary work for this fellowship will be in the area of bariatric interventions in a large animal model and include techniques such as MRI‑guided cryoablation, embolization, radio‑embolization, novel intra‑arterial therapeutic approaches, and the development of embolics. CT, X‑ray angiography, PET‑CT, MRI, magnetic particle imaging (MPI), and magnetic hyperthermia (MHT) will be utilized. A secondary aspect may be in the area of radiopharmaceutical therapy (RPT) for osteosarcoma.
The candidate will be involved in all aspects of the studies from simulations/phantoms study design, data acquisition, in vivo animal experiments, data analysis, and manuscript writing.
