About

Jan Hagemeister is a leading figure in the field of medical robotics, with a focused expertise in MRI-guided interventional systems. His most-cited work, "Body-mounted robotic assistant for MRI-guided low back pain injection" (2019, 34 citations), exemplifies his major contribution: developing compact, patient-mounted robotic platforms that operate safely within the high-field environment of an MRI scanner. This innovation directly addresses the critical challenge of performing precise, real-time needle guidance for procedures like spinal injections, which are notoriously difficult under conventional imaging. By designing a robot that moves in concert with the patient’s body, Hagemeister’s research enhances both accuracy and patient comfort, reducing procedure times and improving outcomes. His work has garnered significant attention for its practical clinical impact, bridging the gap between advanced robotics and routine pain management. Beyond this landmark paper, Hagemeister’s achievements include advancing the integration of MRI-compatible materials and control systems, positioning him as a key contributor to the next generation of image-guided, minimally invasive therapies.
