Man (Maggie) Zhang, MD, PhD

I am a physician-scientist and medical ultrasound researcher with 20 years of experience developing and applying innovative ultrasound technologies to improve healthcare. My work has spanned sonoelastography, tissue characterization of prostate cancer and ablated liver lesions, acoustic droplet vaporization, high-intensity focused ultrasound, histotripsy, contrast-enhanced ultrasound, and quantitative imaging biomarkers. My current research focuses on multiparametric ultrasound imaging to assess and optimize histotripsy treatment outcomes, imaging biomarkers for severe peripheral arterial disease, clinical translation of endocavity histotripsy, and CEUS applications in renal obstruction. I have led and contributed to funded clinical and translational research projects, including an RSNA Research Scholar Award–funded prospective clinical study. I collaborate closely with clinicians, scientists, and engineers, have published multiple peer-reviewed articles, and have mentored undergraduate and graduate students as well as postdoctoral fellows.
