Overview
Martin R. Prince is currently Professor of Radiology at Cornell and Columbia Universities in New York City with his time allocated 50% for clinical MR and 50% for Imaging research. Dr. Prince is known for developing contrast-enhanced MR Angiography for which he received the Gold medal of the International Society of Magnetic Resonance in Medicine. He has also been an associate editor of Radiology, deputy editor of JMRI and an enthusiastic teacher and promoter of MRI to radiologists and other physicians. He is active in the national efforts to establish standards for accrediting MRI facilities and for translating new MR imaging concepts into clinically useful tools. His publications include several books on MR Angiography and MR Physics and over 250 peer reviewed original manuscripts with over 11,000 citations and an H-index=54. More than 30 of his students and fellows have gone on to faculty positions around the world.
Martin R. Prince developed the Nitinol IVC Filter during undergraduate and master's thesis research in Mechanical Engineering at Massachusetts Institute of Technology. At Harvard Medical School, he graduated cum laude based on his MD thesis research on the interaction of laser radiation with vascular tissues. During his doctoral thesis research in Medical Engineering and Physics at MIT, he developed techniques for laser fragmentation of calcific plaque and other calcific materials. This led to introduction of the laser lithotrytor for fragmentation of kidney stones. His doctoral thesis research also included invention optical fiber devices that are being commercialized for optical diagnostic techniques.
