About

Thierry Duprez is a leading figure in interventional neuroradiology and image-guided spine surgery, with a focus on minimally invasive techniques for pain management and movement disorders. His work bridges the gap between advanced imaging and precision therapeutics, particularly in the treatment of refractory low back pain and Parkinson’s disease. Duprez pioneered the transition from manual 2D to fully robotic intraoperative 2D/3D fluoroscopy for percutaneous pedicle screw implantation, a landmark contribution that enhanced accuracy and safety in spinal interventions. His research on MRI-guided deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the subthalamic nucleus under general anesthesia for Parkinson’s disease has provided critical insights into the microlesion effect, offering a more patient-friendly alternative to awake surgery. With over 24 citations across his most-cited works, Duprez’s impact is evident in the growing adoption of robotic and MRI-assisted techniques in neurosurgery. His achievements underscore a commitment to reducing procedural invasiveness while improving clinical outcomes, making him a key innovator in the field of image-guided therapy.
