About

Jodie Basso is an emerging researcher at the forefront of robotic interventional oncology, with a focused expertise in CT-guided robotic procedures, image-guided ablation, and advanced biopsy techniques. Her work centers on improving the precision and efficacy of minimally invasive cancer treatments, particularly through the integration of robotic systems into clinical workflows. Basso's most impactful contribution to date is her comparative cohort study on robotic versus freehand CT-guided radiofrequency ablation of pulmonary metastases, which has garnered 17 citations since its 2023 publication and offers clinically meaningful evidence supporting robotic guidance as a superior approach for targeting small lung lesions. Complementing this, her 2022 report documenting the first UK experience with CT-guided robotic interventional oncology procedures — cited 11 times — helped establish a foundational roadmap for centres adopting this technology. Perhaps most notably, Basso has pioneered robotic MRI/CT fusion biopsy techniques, developing purpose-built phantoms for testing and advancing multiregional "smart" biopsy strategies designed to better characterize tumour heterogeneity. This innovative body of work positions her as a key contributor to the growing field of precision image-guided oncology, with her research bridging technical development and real-world clinical application.
