About
Hong Grafe is a leading researcher in the intersection of nuclear medicine, surgical oncology, and radiation safety, with a primary focus on intraoperative imaging and radioprotection. Her most cited work, a 2021 study on radiation protection during ⁶⁸Ga-PSMA-11–based Cerenkov Luminescence Imaging (CLI) in robot-assisted prostatectomy, has garnered 8 citations and represents a pivotal contribution to the field. Grafe’s research successfully demonstrates the clinical implementation of CLI as a real-time, intraoperative tool for detecting surgical margins during robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP), addressing a critical need in cancer surgery. By quantifying occupational exposure and establishing safety protocols, her work bridges the gap between advanced imaging technologies and practical clinical application, ensuring that innovative procedures like CLI can be adopted without compromising staff safety. Her findings have significant implications for improving surgical precision and patient outcomes in prostate cancer treatment. Grafe’s contributions are essential for advancing radio-guided surgery, making her a key figure in the development of safer, more effective intraoperative imaging techniques.
