About
Yonatan Kogan is a researcher at the forefront of electrophysiology safety, specializing in the development of robotic systems to mitigate occupational radiation exposure. His primary research focuses on fluoroscopically guided electrophysiological (EP) procedures, where he has pioneered novel shielding technologies to protect operators from the cumulative health risks of ionizing radiation. Kogan’s major contribution is the design and clinical validation of a robotic radiation shielding device (RSS), which demonstrated a significant reduction in operator radiation exposure during EP procedures. In his most cited work, a 2023 prospective study (7 citations), he established the device’s feasibility and safety. His subsequent 2025 study (2 citations) provided critical mechanistic evidence, showing that the RSS effectively reduces radiation-induced DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) in operators—a direct biomarker of cellular damage and cancer risk. This work addresses a pressing occupational hazard, offering a scalable solution to protect interventional cardiologists and electrophysiologists. Kogan’s research bridges biomedical engineering and clinical practice, with the potential to reshape safety standards in catheterization laboratories worldwide. His findings are particularly notable for translating a practical engineering innovation into measurable biological protection, marking a significant step toward safer procedural environments.
