Season 8 Launch: Dr. Mark D. Jacobson on Interventional Radiology, MIT’s Patient-Focused Imaging, and Regenerative Therapies

Mike Roth introduces Season 8 of Villages Vitality Life, Seniors Life Unscripted (formerly Open Forum in The Villages, Florida), emphasizing activities and health for seniors over 55, and interviews Dr. Mark D. Jacobson, CEO of Medical Imaging and Therapeutics (MIT) in Lady Lake. Jacobson explains medical training and interventional radiology, describing minimally invasive, image-guided procedures such as biopsies, endovascular aortic aneurysm repair, and TAVR. He outlines MIT’s focus on accuracy, precision, and accommodating older patients with implantable devices for imaging. Jacobson discusses newer offerings including radiofrequency ablation for benign thyroid nodules, spine tumor ablation with vertebral stabilization, and his FDA-regulated regenerative medicine approach using quantified, screened human placental proteins (without cells/DNA) and peptide delivery via a Push Patch iontophoresis device. He reports outcomes from 150–200 treated patients and shares MIT seminar and contact information.
