Maria Evertsson serves as an Associate researcher and Postdoctoral fellow in the Division of Biomedical Engineering at Lund University's Faculty of Engineering. She actively contributes to the LTH Profile Area: Engineering Health and LU Profile Area: Light and Materials, focusing on translational medical technology development.
Her pioneering research centers on magnetomotive ultrasound (MMUS), which detects magnetic nanoparticles by analyzing induced motion from time-varying magnetic fields. This technique overcomes conventional ultrasound limitations in nanoparticle visualization, enabling targeted disease detection like cancer tumors through advanced data algorithms that superimpose magnetomotive displacement as color-coded overlays on B-mode images. Her work integrates biomedical engineering, medical imaging, and nanotechnology to create cost-effective, real-time diagnostic solutions.
Recent publications (2022-2025) demonstrate concentrated expertise in ultra-high frequency ultrasound applications for pediatric gastrointestinal diagnostics, particularly Hirschsprung's disease. Key contributions include specialized rectal ultrasound probes, bowel wall morphometric analysis tools, and magnetomotive techniques for lymph node imaging, establishing her as a leader in ultrasound-based pediatric diagnostics.
Dr. Evertsson currently leads a Swedish Research Council-funded project (2024-2028) developing combined ultrasound-spectroscopy platforms for diagnosing pediatric bowel disorders, which has attracted significant media attention. She has supervised one research project and maintains active collaborations across international networks, as evidenced by her co-authorship with researchers from multiple countries.
Within Lund University's Biomedical Engineering research group, she collaborates on interdisciplinary projects advancing medical imaging technologies, particularly through the Engineering Health profile area where her MMUS innovations show promise for clinical translation in cancer detection and pediatric diagnostics.
