About
Amanda M. Aleong is a researcher advancing the frontier of MRI-guided robotic interventions, with a primary focus on percutaneous needle-based procedures. Her work centers on the development of modular, MR-compatible robotic systems designed to enhance the accuracy and safety of interventions like transperineal prostate brachytherapy, where precise placement of multiple needles is critical for treating cancerous lesions. In her most cited study, a 2022 preliminary investigation, Aleong introduced a novel modular robot that leverages MRI's superior soft-tissue visualization to guide needle insertion, addressing key challenges in image-guided therapy. This work, which has garnered 9 citations, demonstrates her contributions to bridging robotics and medical imaging, offering a pathway to more effective, minimally invasive cancer treatments. Aleong's research is notable for its potential to improve clinical outcomes by reducing procedural errors and enabling real-time adaptation to anatomical changes. Her achievements underscore a commitment to translating engineering innovation into practical medical solutions, making her a promising voice in the field of interventional robotics.
