About
Antria Filippou is a rising leader in the field of interventional medical robotics, with a focused expertise in Magnetic Resonance-guided Focused Ultrasound (MRgFUS) therapy. Her research centers on developing advanced robotic systems and software for non-invasive cancer treatments, particularly for prostate cancer and thyroid nodules. Filippou’s most cited work introduces a 5-degree-of-freedom robotic device for transrectal prostate cancer therapy, integrating a single-element 3.2 MHz transducer for precise ablation under MRI guidance. She has also pioneered a robotic system for treating thyroid nodules, demonstrating her versatility in adapting MRgFUS to new anatomical targets. Her contributions extend to treatment planning software and phantom-based validation—including agar-based breast phantoms for evaluating HIFU systems and needle biopsy robots—which are critical for preclinical testing and targeting accuracy. With over 60 citations across her key papers, Filippou is establishing herself as a key innovator in non-invasive image-guided therapy. Her work on MR thermometry at 3T further underscores her commitment to improving real-time temperature monitoring during FUS procedures, advancing the safety and efficacy of these emerging technologies.
