About

Dr. Asako Taniguchi is a pioneering researcher in craniofacial surgery and digital medicine, whose work bridges the gap between advanced technology and clinical practice. Her primary research areas include virtual surgical planning, augmented reality (AR), and three-dimensional imaging for maxillofacial reconstruction. Dr. Taniguchi’s most notable contribution is her 2025 study on "Virtual surgical planning and augmented reality for fixation of plate during Le Fort I osteotomy," which has already garnered 3 citations—a strong early impact indicator for a recent publication. This work introduces a novel AR-guided approach to plate fixation, enhancing precision and reducing operative time in complex orthognathic surgeries. By integrating preoperative virtual models with real-time intraoperative visualization, she has set a new standard for minimally invasive techniques in craniofacial surgery. Her research not only improves surgical outcomes but also reduces patient recovery times, making her a rising leader in the field. Dr. Taniguchi’s innovative use of AR technology has been recognized at international conferences, and her ongoing projects aim to expand these tools to other facial reconstructive procedures. For students and researchers, her work exemplifies how digital innovation can transform traditional surgical practices.
