About

Isabelle Fitton is a researcher at the forefront of interventional radiology and medical robotics, with a focused expertise in endovascular procedures and minimally invasive therapies. Her most notable contributions center on the development and comparative evaluation of steerable robotic catheter systems for percutaneous robot-assisted fibroid embolization, a critical technique for treating uterine fibroids. In her landmark 2017 study, "Comparison of Two Endovascular Steerable Robotic Catheters for Percutaneous Robot-Assisted Fibroid Embolization," Fitton systematically assessed the performance of two distinct robotic platforms, providing foundational data that guides the selection and optimization of robotic tools in clinical settings. This work, which has garnered 12 citations, demonstrates her role in advancing the precision and safety of robotic-assisted embolization, directly impacting patient outcomes by reducing procedure times and improving catheter maneuverability. Fitton’s research bridges engineering and clinical practice, offering actionable insights for surgeons and engineers alike. Her contributions are particularly valuable for students and researchers exploring the intersection of robotics and interventional radiology, as she not only validates emerging technologies but also identifies key performance metrics that drive future innovation in steerable catheter design.
