About

Jérôme Declerck is a pioneering figure in the field of medical augmented reality, with a particular focus on enhancing minimally invasive therapy (MIT). His seminal 2008 paper, "Augmented reality in surgical procedures," which has garnered over 40 citations, laid the groundwork for integrating digital overlays into videoscopic surgery and interventional radiology. Declerck’s major contribution lies in demonstrating how augmented reality can improve precision and safety in procedures performed through small incisions, thereby reducing hospital stay-times and accelerating patient recovery. His work bridges the gap between advanced imaging and real-time surgical guidance, offering surgeons a more intuitive view of internal anatomy. Beyond this cornerstone publication, Declerck has been instrumental in advancing the clinical adoption of MIT, a trend that has reshaped modern medicine. His research continues to influence the development of smarter, less invasive surgical tools, making him a key figure in the evolution of computer-assisted interventions.
