About
Sofia Letrari is a biomedical engineer whose research focuses on the intersection of robotic assistance and image-guided interventions, particularly for stereotactic neurosurgery. Her most-cited work, a 2022 phantom study, rigorously evaluates the targeting accuracy of a novel hybrid robotic device combined with optical tracking for stereotactic punctures. By analyzing CT datasets of varying slice thicknesses (1, 3, and 5 mm), Letrari demonstrated that the optical tracked robotic aiming device achieves high puncture precision, a critical contribution for improving the safety and reliability of minimally invasive brain procedures. This study, with 11 citations, has become a foundational reference for researchers developing computer-assisted surgical tools. Letrari’s work exemplifies how phantom-based validation can bridge the gap between robotic engineering and clinical neurosurgery, offering a reproducible methodology for assessing accuracy in stereotactic targeting. Her research is particularly valuable for students and engineers seeking to understand the practical challenges of integrating optical navigation with robotic systems in the operating room.
