About
Franziska Dorn is a leading researcher in the field of interventional neuroradiology, with a primary focus on the advanced treatment of cerebral arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) and the application of stereotactic radiosurgery. Her major contribution lies in pioneering the use of frameless, image-guided technologies—specifically the CyberKnife system—to treat complex intracranial vascular lesions. In her landmark 2021 study, Dorn demonstrated that Magnetic Resonance Imaging-based robotic radiosurgery offers a viable, non-invasive alternative to traditional frame-based methods, eliminating the need for invasive digital subtraction angiography (DSA) during treatment planning. This work, which has garnered 5 citations, is notable for being one of the largest series to date evaluating CyberKnife SRS for cerebral AVMs, providing critical evidence for its safety and efficacy. By integrating cutting-edge MRI and CT imaging with robotic precision, Dorn has helped expand treatment options for patients with inoperable or high-risk AVMs, reducing procedural morbidity. Her research continues to shape clinical protocols in radiosurgery, bridging the gap between advanced imaging and therapeutic delivery.
