About
Shannon E. Kossmann is pioneering the application of electrical impedance tomography (EIT) for real-time surgical guidance, with a focus on improving outcomes in robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP). Her most cited work introduces a clinically feasible, 33-electrode circular array designed for 3D intraoperative assessment of surgical margins—a critical innovation for ensuring complete tumor resection during prostate cancer surgery. By enabling EIT-based tissue characterization at the resection site, Kossmann’s research addresses a longstanding challenge in oncologic surgery: the need for rapid, intraoperative feedback to reduce positive margin rates. Her contributions bridge biomedical engineering and surgical oncology, demonstrating how custom electrode designs can translate impedance measurements into actionable clinical data. With 7 citations since 2024, her work is gaining traction among researchers in surgical imaging and cancer diagnostics. Kossmann’s efforts highlight the potential of EIT as a low-cost, radiation-free adjunct to traditional histopathology, offering a pathway toward more precise, patient-specific surgical care. Her research stands at the intersection of device innovation and translational medicine, promising to reshape how surgeons assess tumor clearance in real time.
