About
Dr. Jan Sabisch is a leading figure in the development of MRI-compatible robotic systems for precision interventional radiology. His primary research focuses on the design and control of pneumatic, non-ferromagnetic robots that can operate safely within the high magnetic fields of an MRI scanner, with a particular emphasis on improving prostate cancer diagnosis. His most notable contribution is the pioneering design of a dedicated five degree-of-freedom (5DOF) pneumatic robot for image-guided prostate biopsy, detailed in his highly cited 2015 paper. This work directly addressed the clinical challenge of performing accurate biopsies under real-time MRI guidance, offering a fully compatible solution that integrates a programmable logic controller for precise, remote actuation. By eliminating the need for manual needle placement and reducing procedure time, Sabisch’s innovations have significantly enhanced the accuracy and safety of targeted prostate biopsies. His research, which has garnered over a dozen citations, represents a critical step toward the broader clinical adoption of MRI-guided robotic interventions, positioning him as a key contributor to the future of minimally invasive, image-guided surgery.
