Building on his Ph.D. research developing magnetic nanoparticle tracers for
Magnetic Particle Imaging (MPI), he co-founded LodeSpin Labs LLC where he led the preclinical development of the first long - circulating blood pool MPI tracer.
Currently, there are several in vivo imaging techniques, e.g., magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and
magnetic particle imaging (MPI).

Mitragotri reckons that the
particles could provide a way to get drugs into the body at a more constant concentration, or substances such as iron oxide nanoparticles, which increase contrast in
magnetic resonance
imaging.
Further detectors inside the tank look for decay
particles: a
magnetic spectrometer measures the momentum of charged tracks from kaon decays, a ring
imaging Cherenkov (RICH) detector tells the team the nature of decay
particles, and electromagnetic and hadronic calorimeters measure their energy.
They are used in
magnetic resonance
imaging (MRI) machines,
magnetic levitation trains and
particle accelerators like the Large Hadron Collider.
