معرفی
Dana Peters is a Professor of Radiology & Biomedical Imaging at Yale School of Medicine and Director of Cardiac MRI at the Magnetic Resonance Research Center. With a secondary appointment in Biomedical Engineering, she specializes in cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging, developing innovative MRI tools for cardiac function assessment, diastolic dysfunction characterization, and left atrial scar visualization in atrial fibrillation patients.
- Education:
- BS in Physics, Johns Hopkins University
- PhD in Physics, University of Wisconsin-Madison
- Postdoctoral training at NIH NHLBI Laboratory of Cardiac Energetics
Her research focuses on cardiac pressure-volume dynamics, scar visualization in electrophysiology, and cancer metabolic imaging, particularly in liver cancer via deuterium metabolic imaging. She integrates machine learning with radial imaging reconstruction algorithms to improve spatial resolution and motion correction in clinical MRI.
Scientific Contributions include the Innovative Project Award for sarcoidosis research (2023). She mentors biomedical imaging scientists through access to Yale's advanced MRI infrastructure, including three Siemens 3T Prisma scanners, a 4T human magnet, and 9.4T/11.7T preclinical systems.
Her team develops automated valve-tracking frameworks, multimodal cardiac diagnostics, and metabolic imaging techniques, collaborating with clinicians and engineers to bridge imaging technology with clinical applications in atrial fibrillation, diastolic dysfunction, and oncologic imaging.
