About

Waleed Brinjikji is a leading figure in interventional radiology and interventional oncology, whose work has significantly advanced the precision and reach of image-guided therapies. His research focuses on developing and validating navigational tools that allow physicians to access challenging anatomical targets—such as small tumors or lesions near critical structures—with greater accuracy and safety. A key contribution is his comprehensive review of these technologies, which has become a foundational reference in the field, accumulating 66 citations. Brinjikji has also been at the forefront of exploring the future of surgical care, notably investigating the feasibility of telesurgery in the modern era. This forward-looking work, which examines the potential for robotic systems to enable remote procedures, has gained increasing relevance in the context of global health challenges like the COVID-19 pandemic. By bridging technical innovation with practical clinical application, Brinjikji’s research not only enhances current procedural outcomes but also lays the groundwork for a more accessible and technologically integrated future in interventional medicine.
