About

Goutam Ghoshal is a leading researcher in the field of interventional neuroradiology, specializing in the development of minimally invasive thermal ablation techniques for brain tumors and epilepsy. His work centers on advancing interstitial magnetic resonance-guided focused ultrasound (iMRgFUS) as a precise alternative to traditional resection, laser therapy, and radiotherapy. Ghoshal’s major contributions include pioneering the use of robotic-assisted systems to deliver interstitial high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) directly into brain tissue, enabling larger, more controlled ablation zones while minimizing thermal damage to surrounding structures. His landmark 2018 study on magnetic resonance–guided interstitial HIFU for brain tumor ablation has garnered 63 citations, underscoring its impact on the field. He has also developed multislice volumetric 2-D MR thermal imaging to predict ablation zones with greater accuracy, and his work in survival swine models has provided critical insights into the effects of thermal ablation on healthy brain tissue outside the target zone. Ghoshal’s research bridges engineering and clinical application, offering a promising path toward safer, more effective treatments for patients with otherwise inoperable brain conditions.
