About
Kristine A. Madsen is a leading interventional pulmonologist whose research focuses on advancing robotic-assisted bronchoscopy for the diagnosis of pulmonary lesions. Her major contributions center on evaluating the safety, efficacy, and procedural efficiency of shape-sensing robotic-assisted bronchoscopy (ssRAB) combined with radial endobronchial ultrasound and cone beam computed tomography. Her most cited work, a 2022 study with 63 citations, demonstrated the feasibility of this multi-modality approach. She has also provided critical data on radiation exposure from CBCT in this context (30 citations) and analyzed procedural times to optimize clinical workflow (8 citations). Notably, her 2025 case series explores the safety of robotic bronchoscopy in high-risk patients with pulmonary hypertension on vasodilator therapy—a novel contribution to the field. Through her work, Madsen is helping to refine the standard of care for minimally invasive lung cancer diagnosis, improving both patient outcomes and procedural efficiency.
