About
Rozemarijn Vliegenthart is a leading researcher in interventional radiology, with a primary focus on improving the precision and outcomes of image-guided tumor ablation. Her most significant contribution is the pioneering of robotic-assisted needle positioning for CT-guided procedures. In her landmark 2019 randomized controlled trial, she directly compared robotic versus freehand antenna placement in microwave ablation of liver tumors, demonstrating that robotic guidance can enhance accuracy. This work, which has garnered 73 citations, represents a critical step toward standardizing and automating complex interventional tasks, potentially reducing procedure times and improving patient safety. By rigorously evaluating emerging technologies through prospective clinical trials, Vliegenthart is shaping the future of minimally invasive cancer treatment. Her research not only advances technical methodology but also provides the evidence base needed for clinical adoption, marking her as a key figure in the evolution of precision interventional oncology.
