About

Paola Nudo is a biomedical engineer whose research focuses on the intersection of robotics and medical imaging, particularly for orthopaedic and interventional procedures. Her major contributions center on the development of Navi-Robot, a robotic assistant designed to enhance precision in surgical environments. In her most-cited work, "Using Navi-Robot and a CT Scanner to Guide Biopsy Needles" (2017, 6 citations), Nudo demonstrated how this system reduces radiation exposure and shortens procedure times by guiding percutaneous needle placement under CT guidance. This study showcases her ability to translate robotic technology into practical clinical tools that improve patient safety and workflow efficiency. Earlier foundational papers, such as "Development of Navi-Robot, a New Assistant for the Orthopaedic Surgical Room" (2007, 3 citations) and "Robotic Control of the Traditional Endoscopic Instrumentation Motion" (2010, 3 citations), established her role in designing robotic systems that seamlessly integrate with existing surgical instruments and imaging modalities. While her citation counts reflect a niche but growing field, Nudo’s work is notable for its direct clinical applicability, bridging the gap between engineering innovation and real-world surgical practice. Her research continues to inspire safer, more accurate interventions in orthopaedics and interventional radiology.
