About
Dr. Sang-won Bang is pioneering the integration of robotic palpation and artificial intelligence to transform tumor localization in minimally invasive surgery. His research centers on developing intelligent, sensor-driven systems that can detect and segment soft tissue tumors without reliance on traditional medical imaging. In his landmark work, "Image-Free Tumor Segmentation of Soft Tissue Using a Minimally Invasive Robotic Palpation System" (2025), Dr. Bang introduces a novel approach that uses a robotic probe to palpate tissue and, through advanced algorithms, reconstruct tumor boundaries in real time. This innovation directly addresses a critical limitation of current robotic surgery: the inability to "feel" hidden lesions. By enabling image-free, tactile-based tumor segmentation, his work promises to enhance surgical precision, reduce operative time, and improve patient outcomes. Though early in its citation history, this contribution has already garnered attention for its potential to replace or supplement preoperative CT/MRI scans. Dr. Bang’s research sits at the intersection of surgical robotics, haptics, and machine learning, offering a tangible step toward more autonomous and perceptive surgical systems. His achievements mark him as a rising leader in computer-assisted intervention.
