Andreas Fieselmann

About

Andreas Fieselmann is a leading researcher in advanced X-ray imaging, whose work centers on the development and clinical translation of robotic, cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) systems. His major contributions lie in the engineering and initial validation of a novel twin robotic X-ray system, which uses two motor-driven arms to perform both 2D radiography and 3D CBCT imaging. This platform enables flexible, upright imaging—a critical advancement for assessing weight-bearing anatomy. Fieselmann’s most cited work (2016, 24 citations) provides the foundational characterization of this system, while a subsequent study (2018, 19 citations) demonstrated its feasibility for imaging the lumbar spine in cadaveric specimens, optimizing dose protocols for varying body mass indices. Further, his phantom-based comparison (2018, 13 citations) showed that the system’s 3D tomography offers image quality competitive with conventional CT. By pioneering a system that merges robotic flexibility with volumetric imaging, Fieselmann is helping to close the gap between interventional and diagnostic radiology, with clear potential for orthopedics and intraoperative guidance.
