About
Dr. Han‐Sung Kang is a leading researcher in the field of medical robotics, with a primary focus on magnetic resonance image (MRI)-guided interventions for breast cancer diagnosis. His major contributions center on the development of the MRSON, an automated MRI-guided breast needle biopsy robot designed to operate within the confined intragantry space of an MRI scanner. This system, featuring (3+1) degrees of freedom, represents a significant advancement in precision oncology. Dr. Kang’s work is particularly notable for its innovative use of a bendable superelastic Nitinol biopsy needle, which enables a robust deflected path planning method to navigate complex tissue structures. His foundational paper, "A magnetic resonance image-guided breast needle intervention robot system: overview and design considerations" (2017), has garnered 24 citations, while his more recent work on path planning for the Nitinol needle (2022) has already accumulated 13 citations, demonstrating growing impact. By integrating robotics with advanced imaging, Dr. Kang is pushing the boundaries of minimally invasive, automated biopsy procedures, aiming to improve diagnostic accuracy and patient outcomes in breast cancer care.
