Jared A Christensen

Jared A Christensen, MD, serves as Clinical Assistant Professor of Radiology at the University of Michigan Medical School and Medical Director for MPLAN-Interventional Radiology. He holds a Center Member position at the Samuel and Jean Frankel Cardiovascular Center, integrating cardiovascular imaging with interventional practice. His clinical-academic role emphasizes advanced image-guided therapies within Michigan Medicine's integrated healthcare system.

Dr. Christensen's research centers on interventional radiology innovations for liver cancer treatment, particularly hepatocellular carcinoma. His work explores Selective Internal Radiation Therapy (SIRT) and Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT) optimization, radiation dosimetry validation using PET/MRI, and novel techniques for biliary/airway complications. He maintains active investigation into procedural safety metrics including CLABSI prevention in central line placements, reflecting commitment to improving interventional outcomes through evidence-based practice.

Analysis of his 2024-2025 publications reveals strong focus on translational applications: 5 of 7 works address liver-directed therapies with emphasis on dosimetry-outcome correlations, while others develop solutions for complex anastomotic occlusions and airway recanalization. This portfolio demonstrates systematic progression from technical innovation to clinical validation in interventional oncology.

As an active Clinical Assistant Professor, Dr. Christensen mentors medical trainees in research methodology and clinical practice. His ongoing Phase I trial and multi-year publication record indicate stable grant funding, likely from institutional and federal sources. He collaborates extensively across Michigan Medicine's cancer center and cardiovascular programs, facilitating multidisciplinary approaches to complex cases.

His institutional footprint spans the Department of Radiology's interventional division and the Cardiovascular Center, where he contributes to advancing image-guided cardiovascular interventions. This dual affiliation enables cross-pollination of techniques between vascular and oncologic interventional radiology, supporting comprehensive patient management strategies.
