About

Jeanie Betsy Chiang is a researcher at the forefront of interventional radiology and surgical robotics, with a focus on improving the precision and safety of minimally invasive procedures. Her work centers on the integration of robotic assistance with cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) guidance for needle-based interventions, such as biopsies and ablations. In her landmark study, "Robotically Assisted CBCT-Guided Needle Insertions: Preliminary Results in a Phantom Model" (2018, 20 citations), Chiang demonstrated that robotic systems can significantly enhance needle placement accuracy compared to manual techniques, reducing procedural variability and potential complications. This foundational work has informed the development of next-generation image-guided robotic platforms, bridging the gap between pre-clinical research and clinical translation. Her contributions are particularly impactful in oncology, where precise needle targeting is critical for tumor diagnosis and treatment. Chiang’s research has been cited by peers exploring automation in interventional radiology, underscoring her role in advancing the field toward more reliable, reproducible outcomes. Her achievements highlight a commitment to merging engineering innovation with clinical needs, positioning her as a rising authority in computer-assisted surgery.
