About

Pietro Regazzoni is a pioneering figure in computer-assisted surgery and medical technology integration, with a career dedicated to advancing intra-operative imaging, navigation, and robotics. His key research areas include 3D/2D medical image registration, surgical planning for trauma surgery, and the seamless integration of complex medical technologies in the operating room. Regazzoni’s most notable contribution is his work on a faster method for 3D/2D patient-to-CT registration, a technique that iteratively aligns CT-rendered projections with real X-ray images to achieve precise spatial mapping—a foundational tool for image-guided interventions. This landmark study, published in 2003, has garnered 50 citations, underscoring its lasting impact on the field. He also led efforts to design multifunctional sterile suites that combine CT, angiography, navigation, and robotics, as detailed in his 2007 paper (17 citations), enabling minimally invasive and emergency procedures with unprecedented reliability. Additionally, his system LORENZ for planning long-bone fracture reduction (2003, 5 citations) exemplifies his commitment to translating 3D imaging into practical surgical solutions. Regazzoni’s work has shaped modern computer-assisted surgery, bridging engineering innovation and clinical practice.
