About
Carlo Catalano is a leading figure in interventional radiology, with a focus on advancing precision-guided oncologic procedures. His research centers on the integration of robotic systems and advanced imaging techniques to improve the safety and efficacy of minimally invasive interventions. A major contribution is his pioneering work on robotic-assisted CT-guided biopsies, as demonstrated in his highly cited 2014 study comparing a dedicated interventional robotic system to conventional manual techniques for lung lesion biopsies. This work, with 56 citations, established a foundational benchmark for robotic precision in thoracic interventions, reducing procedural risks. More recently, Catalano has explored innovative fusion imaging, such as cone-beam CT-guided transarterial tagging of endophytic renal tumors with indocyanine green for robot-assisted partial nephrectomy, a technique that enhances tumor localization during surgery. His impact is evident in the clinical adoption of these methods, improving outcomes for patients with complex tumors. Catalano’s achievements include advancing the frontiers of interventional oncology, bridging the gap between diagnostic imaging and therapeutic robotics, and training a new generation of radiologists in these cutting-edge techniques.
