About

Fernanda Langsch is a leading researcher in the field of medical robotics, with a primary focus on advancing image-guided interventions and endovascular surgery. Her most significant contribution is the development of a robotic ultrasound system for catheter navigation, a groundbreaking alternative to traditional X-ray fluoroscopy. This work, published in 2019 and cited 28 times, directly addresses a critical clinical challenge: reducing patient and clinician exposure to harmful ionizing radiation during endovascular procedures. By enabling real-time, radiation-free visual feedback for catheter tracking, Langsch’s research paves the way for safer, more accessible minimally invasive surgeries. Her innovative approach combines robotics with ultrasound imaging to enhance procedural precision and workflow. Langsch’s contributions are particularly notable for their potential to transform standard practices in interventional radiology and vascular surgery, offering a compelling solution to a longstanding safety concern. Her work continues to inspire further research into robotic-assisted navigation systems, positioning her as a key figure in the evolution of safer, technology-driven surgical care.
