About
L. Moliner is a biomedical engineer and researcher whose work sits at the intersection of nuclear medicine, oncology, and precision instrumentation. Their most cited contributions focus on the development of a novel semi-robotized device for high-precision 18F-FDG-guided breast cancer biopsy, a technique that marries the metabolic sensitivity of PET imaging with the mechanical accuracy of robotic assistance. This innovation, detailed in two publications from 2016 and 2017, addresses a critical clinical need: improving the targeting of suspicious lesions that are visible on PET scans but difficult to sample manually. By enabling more reliable tissue acquisition, Moliner’s device has the potential to reduce false negatives and improve diagnostic confidence in breast cancer management. While the citation count (5 per paper) reflects a niche but dedicated audience, the work’s impact is amplified by its translational nature—bridging engineering design and clinical workflow. Moliner’s research exemplifies how semi-automation can enhance the accuracy of image-guided interventions, offering a glimpse into the future of minimally invasive, PET-driven biopsy systems.
