About
Claire E. Hennen is a biomedical engineer advancing the frontiers of non-invasive cancer therapy through image-guided histotripsy. Her research centers on integrating mobile C-arm cone beam CT (CBCT) with focused ultrasound to mechanically destroy tumors, addressing critical limitations in visualization and accessibility. In her landmark 2025 study, which has already garnered 3 citations, Hennen demonstrated the accuracy and reproducibility of a single-pose image-to-robot registration method for mobile C-arm CBCT-guided histotripsy—a breakthrough that could bring this precise, radiation-free therapy to more clinical settings. By enabling real-time, intraprocedural targeting without the need for bulky, fixed imaging systems, her work directly tackles the challenge of making histotripsy widely available. Hennen’s contributions are particularly notable for their translational impact, bridging engineering innovation with practical clinical deployment. Her research not only validates the feasibility of mobile C-arm guidance but also sets the stage for broader adoption of histotripsy in treating liver, kidney, and pancreatic tumors, offering patients a non-invasive alternative with fewer side effects.
