About
Weiqiang Liu is a leading researcher in the field of medical robotics, with a primary focus on MRI-guided interventional systems. His most notable contribution is the development of a fully actuated body-mounted robotic assistant for MRI-guided low back pain injection, reported in his highly cited 2020 paper (21 citations). This work introduces a novel 6-DOF robot comprising a 4-DOF needle alignment module and a 2-DOF remotely actuated needle driver, designed to operate safely within the MRI scanner bore. Liu’s innovation addresses critical challenges in precision, patient comfort, and real-time imaging compatibility for spinal procedures. His research bridges mechanical design, actuation systems, and clinical translation, demonstrating significant impact in advancing minimally invasive pain management. With a growing citation record, Liu’s work is recognized for enabling safer, more accurate interventions, positioning him as a key contributor to the next generation of MRI-compatible surgical robotics.
