About
Cyril Capel is a leading figure in the field of stereotactic neurosurgery, with a primary focus on the precision and clinical application of robotic-assisted systems. His most influential work, cited over 117 times, rigorously investigates the factors that determine the accuracy of the ROSA® stereotactic robot. In this landmark study, Capel systematically evaluated how the choice of reference imaging modality, registration method, and the use of intraoperative flat-panel computed tomography (CT) affect targeting precision. By employing a dedicated phantom device to measure accuracy across 20 distinct targets, he provided critical, evidence-based guidelines that have helped neurosurgeons optimize robotic workflows for deep brain stimulation and biopsy procedures. This research has had a profound impact on the field, establishing a benchmark for accuracy assessment and directly improving patient outcomes by reducing surgical error. Capel’s work is essential reading for any researcher or clinician seeking to understand the technical nuances of stereotactic robotics, and it continues to inform best practices in image-guided neurosurgery.
