About

Yixin Pan is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of medical robotics and interventional imaging, with a primary focus on MRI-guided stereotactic neurointervention. His most notable contribution is the development of a hybrid pneumatic-hydraulic actuation system for robotic stereotactic procedures, addressing critical limitations in conventional manual approaches that lack operation stability and interactive feedback. This work, published in 2025 and already garnering 5 citations, introduces a novel actuation mechanism compatible with the high magnetic field environment of MRI, enabling precise, image-guided interventions such as biopsy, injection, ablation, and deep brain stimulation electrode implantation. By combining pneumatic and hydraulic principles, Pan's design overcomes the challenges of MR compatibility while maintaining the dexterity and force required for delicate neurosurgical tasks. His research promises to enhance the accuracy and safety of stereotactic procedures, reducing reliance on preoperative imaging alone and enabling real-time intraoperative guidance. Pan's work stands at the forefront of a new generation of MRI-compatible robotic systems, with the potential to transform neurointerventional practice by providing surgeons with stable, feedback-driven tools for minimally invasive brain surgery.
