About

Toril A. Nagelhus Hernes is a leading researcher in medical imaging and ultrasound-guided interventions, with a focus on advancing robotic-assisted surgical technologies. Her key research areas include ultrasound probe calibration, image-guided therapy, and the integration of robotics in minimally invasive procedures. One of her most notable contributions is the development of a versatile robotic probe calibration method for position tracking in ultrasound imaging (2015), which has garnered 20 citations for its practical adaptability across different probe types. This work addresses a critical bottleneck in the field—simplifying the often tedious adaptation of calibration techniques to various probes—thereby enhancing the accuracy and efficiency of ultrasound-guided procedures. Hernes’s research has significant implications for improving real-time visualization and precision in surgical settings, making her a respected figure in medical robotics. Her achievements underscore a commitment to bridging engineering and clinical practice, with her calibration method serving as a foundational tool for researchers and clinicians seeking robust, flexible solutions in image-guided interventions.
