Pradip M Pattany

Pradip M Pattany is a Research Professor in Radiology specializing in advanced MRI techniques, stem cell therapies, and biomedical engineering. His work spans cardiovascular imaging, neuroimaging, and oncological applications. Notably, he developed the Motion Artifact Suppression Technique (MAST), recognized with the I R 100 Award, and contributed to clinical trials in mesenchymal stem cell therapies for stroke and cardiac recovery.

Education: PhD in Biology and Medical Engineering from the University of Claude Bernard, Lyon (1992), and MS in Instrumentation and Analytical Sciences from the University of Manchester Institute of Science and Technology (1983). Postgraduate training includes work at the Culham Laboratory.

Research focuses on MRI biomarkers for disease progression (e.g., prostate cancer, cardiovascular risk in HIV patients), neuroimaging of chronic pain mechanisms, and stem cell therapies for neurological and cardiac disorders. His interdisciplinary work bridges clinical applications and technological innovation, with patents on MRI artifact reduction and vascular imaging.

• Awards: Cum Laude Award (RSNA), Gold Medal (US Olympic Committee), I R 100 Award, Management Award of Excellence (Picker International).
• Professional Activities: Editor of the American Journal of Neuroradiology, active reviewer for ISMRM and RSNA, and member of the Interdisciplinary Stem Cell Institute.

Publications highlight advancements in 4D Flow MRI for cardiovascular assessments, T2-weighted MRI in oncology, and fMRI studies on pain pathways. His patents include innovations in MRI artifact suppression and flow imaging techniques.
