About
Annie M. Zlevor is a rising researcher in interventional oncology and therapeutic ultrasound, with a focus on non-invasive tumor ablation. Her work centers on histotripsy, a novel technique that uses focused ultrasound to mechanically destroy tissue without heat, and she has made key contributions to its application in liver cancer treatment. Her most-cited study, "Transcostal Histotripsy Ablation in an In Vivo Acute Hepatic Porcine Model" (2021), with 21 citations, demonstrated the feasibility of targeting liver tumors through the rib cage—a critical barrier in clinical translation. This work has helped pave the way for histotripsy as a potential alternative to surgery or thermal ablation, offering a non-ionizing, precise approach with minimal collateral damage. Zlevor’s research is notable for bridging preclinical models and clinical needs, addressing real-world challenges in treating hepatic malignancies. Her achievements reflect a commitment to advancing ultrasound-guided therapies, positioning her as an emerging voice in the field of image-guided interventions.
