Overview

Marco Essig is affiliated with the University of Manitoba in Canada and has contributed extensively to the field of Medicine, with a focus on Radiology, Nuclear Medicine and Imaging, Neurology, Emergency Medicine, and Cognitive Neuroscience. Their research covers advanced neuroimaging techniques and applications, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in cancer diagnosis, traumatic brain injury, glioma diagnosis and treatment, and aspects related to neurovascular disturbances.

Essig's work has been published in various academic journals, notably in venues such as Critical Care, Cerebral Cortex, Neuroradiology, Journal of Clinical Oncology, and Journal of Neuroimaging. They have multiple publications in these journals, including three in Critical Care and two each in Cerebral Cortex, Neuroradiology, and Journal of Clinical Oncology.

Some of the recent papers associated with Essig include:

  • From "Time is Brain" to "Imaging is Brain": A Paradigm Shift in the Management of Acute Ischemic Stroke, 2020, Journal of Neuroimaging
  • Magnetic Resonance Imaging Biomarkers of Brain Connectivity in Predicting Outcome after Mild Traumatic Brain Injury: A Systematic Review, 2020, Journal of Neurotrauma
  • Whole-Brain Dynamics in Aging: Disruptions in Functional Connectivity and the Role of the Rich Club, 2020, Cerebral Cortex
  • Brain BOLD MRI O2 and CO2 stress testing: implications for perioperative neurocognitive disorder following surgery, 2020, Critical Care
  • The Aging Imageomics Study: rationale, design and baseline characteristics of the study population, 2020, Mechanisms of Ageing and Development

Frequent coauthors collaborating with Essig include Jai Shankar, Josep Puig, Salvador Pedraza, Chase R. Figley, and Lawrence Ryner, indicating active cooperation and research partnerships within the neuroimaging and clinical neuroscience communities.

The main research topics Essig has engaged with are:

  • Traumatic Brain Injury and Neurovascular Disturbances
  • MRI in Cancer Diagnosis
  • Glioma Diagnosis and Treatment
  • Advanced MRI Techniques and Applications
  • Lanthanide and Transition Metal Complexes
  • Advanced Neuroimaging Techniques and Applications
  • Cardiac Arrest and Resuscitation

Essig's research outputs contribute to the understanding of brain imaging biomarkers, functional connectivity changes with aging, and neurocognitive implications of perioperative factors. The focus on advanced MRI technologies and their application in diagnosis and management of neurological conditions situates Essig's work at the intersection of clinical and imaging sciences.
