About

Mark Kaschwich is a researcher at the forefront of medical robotics, specializing in the automation of vascular ultrasound imaging. His work directly addresses a critical bottleneck in diagnosing peripheral arterial disease (PAD): the heavy reliance on skilled sonographers for 2D ultrasound acquisition. Kaschwich’s major contribution is the development of a robotized ultrasound system that can semi-automatically scan peripheral arteries, reducing user dependency and procedure time. His key innovation, detailed in his most-cited work "Robotized ultrasound imaging of the peripheral arteries – a phantom study" (14 citations), demonstrates the feasibility of this approach. He further refined the system’s control using visual servoing, as shown in his 2020 paper (5 citations). Kaschwich’s research also explores the broader goal of reducing radiation and contrast agent exposure in endovascular surgery, as outlined in his German-language publication "Roboterbasierte Ultraschallsteuerung" (4 citations). By pioneering robotic assistance for routine diagnostic imaging, Kaschwich is paving the way for safer, more accessible, and standardized vascular care.
