About
Gert van de Steeg is a leading researcher in medical robotics, with a primary focus on MR-guided interventions for prostate cancer diagnosis and treatment. His most notable contribution is the development of the MIRIAM robot, a novel robotic system designed for precise needle insertion in the prostate under magnetic resonance imaging guidance. This work, published in 2016 and cited over 55 times, addresses a critical challenge in early cancer detection by enabling accurate targeting of lesions visible only on MR images. Van de Steeg’s research bridges the gap between advanced imaging and robotic precision, significantly improving the potential for minimally invasive procedures. His contributions have been instrumental in advancing the field of image-guided robotics, offering new possibilities for reducing mortality rates through earlier and more accurate interventions.
