About
Dimitris Visvikis is a leading researcher in medical robotics, with a primary focus on improving the safety and precision of minimally-invasive interventional procedures. His work centers on two key areas: reducing radiation exposure during X-ray guided surgeries and enhancing the accuracy of prostate brachytherapy. A major contribution is his development of a co-manipulated robot for brachytherapy, which addresses the critical problem of inaccurate manual seed implantation—a technique that, despite its benefits for early-stage prostate cancer, often leads to side effects. His 2017 paper on optimizing C-arm pose to reduce intraoperative radiation exposure for both staff and patients (9 citations) demonstrates his commitment to procedural safety. Visvikis has also engineered a 6 Degrees of Freedom brachytherapy robot with an integrated gravity compensation system (7 citations), showcasing his innovative approach to complex surgical tasks. Through his research on delta robot kinematics and validation of co-manipulated systems, Visvikis is advancing the frontier of robotic-assisted brachytherapy, aiming to make these life-saving procedures safer, more accurate, and more accessible for patients worldwide.
