About

Irene Fuhrmann’s research lies at the intersection of interventional oncology and biomedical engineering, with a primary focus on improving the precision and safety of percutaneous tumor ablation techniques. Her most cited work, a 2018 review on navigation systems for irreversible electroporation (IRE), has garnered 28 citations and stands as a key resource in the field. In this paper, she systematically compares tracking and robotic systems, demonstrating how navigational tools can enhance probe placement accuracy while significantly reducing radiation exposure during procedures. This contribution is particularly vital for IRE, a non-thermal ablation method that demands meticulous electrode positioning to achieve complete tumor coverage and avoid damage to critical structures. Fuhrmann’s work helps bridge the gap between advanced imaging guidance and clinical practice, offering a roadmap for integrating these technologies into routine treatment planning and execution. Her research is highly relevant for interventional radiologists and surgical oncologists seeking to adopt more precise, minimally invasive approaches. By synthesizing technical innovations with practical clinical needs, Fuhrmann has established herself as a thoughtful voice in the ongoing effort to make image-guided cancer therapies safer and more effective.
