About
Dr. Chandima Edirisinghe is a pioneering researcher in the field of medical robotics, with a primary focus on minimally invasive, image-guided interventions for cancer therapy. Her major contributions lie in the development of integrated robotic systems for brachytherapy—a form of internal radiation treatment. Notably, she co-developed "MIRA V," an integrated system for robot-assisted lung brachytherapy that seamlessly combines an experimental robotic setup for precise radioactive seed placement with commercial dosimetry planning software. This work, cited 10 times, represents a complete clinical workflow solution for treating lung tumors. Additionally, Dr. Edirisinghe has advanced prostate brachytherapy by integrating three-dimensional ultrasound guidance with robotic assistance, enhancing the accuracy of seed implantation. Her research bridges the gap between engineering innovation and clinical application, demonstrating how robotic precision can improve treatment outcomes while minimizing patient trauma. Through these achievements, Dr. Edirisinghe has established herself as a key contributor to the evolution of robot-assisted cancer care, making her work essential reading for students and researchers in surgical robotics and interventional oncology.
