About
Dr. Catherine Roy is a pioneering surgeon-scientist whose work is redefining the precision of hepatobiliary surgery. Her primary research focuses on advanced intraoperative navigation, specifically integrating near-infrared cholangiography (NIR-C), virtual and augmented reality (VR-AR), and robotic surgical platforms. Dr. Roy’s most impactful contribution is her prospective evaluation of these multimodal technologies during robotic cholecystectomy, demonstrating that NIR-C can provide real-time, radiation-free biliary anatomy enhancement. Her landmark 2017 study, cited over 60 times, established a critical framework for reducing bile duct injuries by combining 3D VR biliary reconstructions with traditional x-ray cholangiography. By systematically comparing these navigation tools, she has provided the evidence base for a new standard in surgical safety. Dr. Roy’s work is not merely technical; it is a fundamental shift toward data-driven, image-guided surgery that minimizes patient risk. Her research continues to influence the design of next-generation robotic systems and is essential reading for any surgeon or engineer working at the intersection of computer vision and operative medicine.
