About
Dr. Agnieszka Witkowska is a pioneering researcher at the forefront of interventional radiology, specializing in the development and clinical translation of robotic systems for percutaneous procedures. Her major contributions center on enhancing the precision, safety, and feasibility of CT-guided needle interventions, particularly for cancer patients. In a landmark 2023 study, Dr. Witkowska demonstrated the feasibility and safety of a patient-mounted robotic system for bone biopsies in 40 consecutive cancer cases, a work that has already garnered 16 citations for its direct clinical impact. Her earlier, highly influential 2022 research assessed a novel hands-free robotic system for needle insertion and steering, proving its accuracy in a prospective, multi-center trial of 60 patients. This work, with 11 citations, critically balanced procedural accuracy against radiation dose and duration, establishing a new benchmark for robotic assistance in radiology. Dr. Witkowska’s research is pivotal in moving robotic systems from theoretical concepts to practical, patient-ready tools, promising to reduce procedure times and improve outcomes in image-guided cancer care.
