About

Gracyn Campbell is a rising leader in the field of robotic spine surgery, with a focused research agenda on eliminating radiation exposure during complex spinal procedures. Her work centers on integrating advanced imaging and robotics to enhance surgical precision and patient safety. Campbell’s most significant contribution is pioneering the use of 3D MRI registration for robotic pedicle screw placement, a technique that moves the field toward radiation-free navigation. Her landmark 2024 study, which has already garnered 13 citations, demonstrated the feasibility of this approach, while her subsequent 2025 cadaveric study—with 3 citations—rigorously validated the accuracy of robotic-assisted thoracic pedicle screw placement using CT-like 3D-MRI. These contributions are critical for reducing the risks associated with traditional fluoroscopic guidance. By proving that MRI-based robotic navigation can achieve the precision of CT-based methods without ionizing radiation, Campbell is laying the groundwork for a paradigm shift in spinal surgery. Her work is particularly impactful for pediatric and repeat-surgery patients, and she is recognized as a key voice in the next generation of surgical innovation.
