About
Dr. George Makris is a pioneering researcher in the field of image-guided interventions, with a core focus on developing advanced multimodal imaging platforms for high-precision surgery. His most notable contribution is the creation of a novel concurrent imaging system that integrates magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with optical coherence tomography (OCT). This groundbreaking work, detailed in his highly cited 2013 paper (8 citations), introduces a tele-operated robot capable of performing high-resolution OCT imaging under continuous, large field-of-view MRI guidance. By solving the critical challenge of merging these two modalities, Dr. Makris has significantly advanced the capabilities of intra-operative MRI (iMRI), enabling surgeons to visualize both macroscopic anatomy and microscopic tissue structures in real time. His research directly enhances the accuracy and safety of delicate surgical procedures, offering a transformative tool for precision medicine. Dr. Makris’s work stands as a key achievement in surgical robotics and imaging, establishing a new paradigm for real-time, multiscale visualization that promises to improve patient outcomes in complex interventions.
