About
Dr. Sophie Lloyd is pioneering the integration of electrical impedance tomography (EIT) into surgical oncology, with a focused mission to improve outcomes in prostate cancer treatment. Her primary research areas span biomedical instrumentation, intraoperative imaging, and surgical margin assessment. Dr. Lloyd’s most notable contribution is the development of a clinically feasible, 33-electrode circular array designed for 3D EIT-based evaluation of surgical margins during robot-assisted radical prostatectomy. This innovative device, detailed in her 2024 paper, addresses a critical unmet need: the real-time detection of residual cancerous tissue during surgery. By enabling high-resolution, intraoperative tissue characterization, her work promises to reduce positive surgical margins and the need for follow-up treatments. Although her highly specialized work is early-stage, with her flagship paper already garnering 7 citations, its potential impact is significant, bridging the gap between advanced imaging technology and practical surgical application. Dr. Lloyd’s research stands at the forefront of a new era in precision surgery, where real-time electrical property mapping could become a standard tool for ensuring complete tumor resection.
