About

Andrea Schenk is a leading figure in the field of image-guided therapy, with a specialized focus on navigated liver surgery. Her work centers on the development of novel immobilization and registration devices that enhance precision in both cranial and soft tissue interventions. She has pioneered advanced registration algorithms for the accurate fusion of multimodal datasets—including CT, MR, SPECT, PET, and ultrasound—enabling surgeons to visualize and target pathologies with unprecedented clarity. Her most-cited paper, "Navigierte Leberchirurgie" (2018), with 13 citations, underscores her contributions to improving surgical outcomes through real-time navigation. Additionally, her earlier work, presented in the ECR Final Programme (2004), introduced three targeting devices that have influenced the trajectory of image-guided therapy. Schenk’s research bridges engineering and clinical practice, providing tools that reduce invasiveness and increase accuracy in complex procedures. Her innovations continue to shape the future of computer-assisted surgery, making her a key contributor to the advancement of precision medicine.
