Dr. Stanley J. Kruger is a Research Assistant Professor at the Computational Biomedical Imaging Group. He is also a Research Assistant Professor of Radiology - Division of Neuroradiology at the University of Iowa. Kruger received his BS in Physics and his PhD in Medical Physics from the University of Wisconsin.

Kruger’s research focuses on using MRI as a tool for thoracic imaging applications. He has two primary areas of thoracic interest. The first is in the investigation of lung structure and function to better assess ventilation and perfusion relating to disease and therapy. In pursuit of this aim, he is interested in the use of hyperpolarized gas contrast agents (He-3 or Xe-129), Fluorine Imaging, and Oxygen-Enhanced Proton MRI. His second area of thoracic interest is in the collaborative development of an MR-only radiation oncology suite for tumor treatment in the chest. Ultimately, Kruger is interested in overcoming the challenges of respiratory motion, as well as the removal of the need for multi-modal acquisitions in treatment planning.
