About
Koen Spijkerboer is a researcher at the forefront of pediatric interventional radiology, with a specialized focus on integrating augmented reality (AR) into image-guided procedures. His most notable contribution is the pioneering work on AR-guided localization of chest wall tumors in pediatric patients, a technique that enhances precision and reduces invasiveness in complex tumor resections. This landmark study, published in 2022 and garnering 11 citations, demonstrates how virtual 3D models can be overlaid onto a patient’s anatomy in real time, allowing surgeons to navigate with unprecedented accuracy. Spijkerboer’s research addresses a critical gap in pediatric oncology, where minimizing radiation exposure and surgical trauma is paramount. By validating AR’s feasibility in a clinical setting, he has laid the groundwork for broader adoption of mixed-reality tools in interventional radiology. His work not only improves outcomes for children with chest wall tumors but also opens avenues for AR applications in other pediatric procedures. With a growing citation impact, Spijkerboer is recognized as an innovator bridging the gap between cutting-edge technology and compassionate, child-centered care.
