About

Anastasia Nikolaou is a rising expert in interventional MRI and image-guided therapy, with a focus on advancing precision in cancer diagnostics and treatment. Her research centers on the development and validation of software and robotic systems for Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)-guided procedures, particularly for breast cancer. She has made major contributions to the field of MR-guided focused ultrasound (MRgFUS) treatment planning, authoring a key 2023 paper on advanced software for this non-invasive technique, which has already garnered 12 citations. Equally impactful is her work on phantom-based assessment of robotic devices for MRI-guided needle biopsy, where she proposed simple, reproducible methods to evaluate motion and needle targeting accuracy. This study, published in 2023 with 4 citations, provides a critical framework for ensuring the safety and efficacy of robotic biopsy systems. Nikolaou’s research bridges the gap between engineering and clinical application, offering practical tools that could streamline workflows and improve patient outcomes. Her achievements highlight her as a promising young investigator dedicated to making MRI-guided interventions more accessible and reliable.
