About
Dr. Patrick Kugler is a leading researcher in interventional imaging, specializing in advanced C-arm CT and cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) for robotic angiography systems. His most notable contribution is the first implementation of the extended line-ellipse-line (LEL) trajectory on a state-of-the-art robotic angiography system, a breakthrough that overcomes the limitations of traditional circular short-scan acquisitions. This work, published in 2020, demonstrates how non-circular source trajectories can significantly improve axial volume coverage and reduce debilitating cone-beam artifacts, directly enhancing three-dimensional imaging capabilities in interventional radiology. While his highly specialized work has garnered foundational citations (7 for this seminal paper), its impact lies in its technical rigor and practical validation—bridging mathematical reconstruction theory with clinical hardware. Dr. Kugler’s research is pivotal for radiologists and engineers seeking to expand the diagnostic and interventional utility of C-arm CT, offering a pathway to more flexible, artifact-free volumetric imaging during complex procedures. His achievements underscore a commitment to translating novel geometric trajectories into tangible clinical tools.
