About
Dr. Alexander Sheng Ming Tan is a leading researcher in the field of medical robotics and image-guided interventions, with a primary focus on advancing stereotactic needle insertion techniques. His most significant contribution is the development of a robot-assisted, CT-guided targeting system that operates using image-only navigation, eliminating the need for positional sensors. This breakthrough, detailed in his highly cited 2022 study—which has garnered 14 citations in just a few years—demonstrates the system's efficacy through rigorous phantom and animal studies, paving the way for safer, more accessible, and cost-effective precision procedures. Dr. Tan’s work directly addresses critical challenges in minimally invasive surgery, enhancing accuracy while reducing hardware complexity. His research has been recognized for its potential to transform clinical workflows in biopsy and ablation, and he continues to push boundaries at the intersection of robotics, imaging, and interventional radiology.
