About

Craig Cummings is a biomedical engineer whose research focuses on the development and validation of advanced image-guided biopsy techniques, particularly at the intersection of MRI and CT imaging. His most notable contribution is the design and testing of a robotic MRI/CT fusion biopsy system, which he validated using a purpose-built interventional phantom. This work, published in 2022 and already garnering 9 citations, addresses a critical need in imaging biomarker validation by enabling precise correlation between histology and MRI signal. Cummings’ approach allows clinicians to target specific tumour components with robotic precision, improving the accuracy of cancer diagnosis and treatment planning. His research combines expertise in interventional radiology, robotics, and phantom development, pushing the boundaries of how imaging data can guide tissue sampling. By creating a platform that seamlessly integrates MRI and CT guidance, Cummings is helping to bridge the gap between advanced imaging and clinical biopsy procedures, with potential applications in prostate, breast, and other solid tumour diagnostics. His work represents a significant step toward more personalized, image-driven cancer care.
