About
Dr. Soko Ikuta is a pioneering neurosurgeon whose work centers on the integration of advanced intraoperative technologies for the surgical management of intracranial gliomas. Her major contribution lies in the development and clinical application of information-guided surgery, a paradigm that fuses real-time imaging, navigation, and data processing to enhance tumor resection while preserving neurological function. As a key figure behind the Intelligent Operating Theater at Tokyo Women’s Medical University—established in 2000—she has overseen its use in over 1,000 patients, demonstrating the practical impact of this technology. Her most-cited paper, “Information‐Guided Surgery of Intracranial Gliomas: Overview of an Advanced Intraoperative Technology” (2012), provides a comprehensive overview of these innovations and has garnered 7 citations, reflecting its foundational role in the field. Dr. Ikuta’s work bridges engineering and clinical neurosurgery, setting a benchmark for precision in glioma treatment and inspiring future research into smart operating environments.
