About

Danielle Bradbury is a pioneering researcher in interventional radiology and medical robotics, with a primary focus on advancing precision in image-guided percutaneous procedures. Her most notable contribution is the development and clinical validation of a novel hands-free robotic system for CT-guided needle insertion and steering, designed to enhance accuracy while minimizing procedure time and radiation exposure. In her landmark 2022 feasibility study, Bradbury led a prospective, multi-center trial across 60 clinical biopsy cases, demonstrating that the robotic platform could achieve reliable targeting with reduced operator dependence—a significant step toward automating complex needle-based interventions. This work, which has already garnered 11 citations, underscores her impact on translating robotic assistance from engineering concepts into practical clinical tools. By addressing the critical balance between procedural efficiency and patient safety, Bradbury’s research is shaping the future of minimally invasive diagnostics, offering a pathway to more consistent and less operator-variable outcomes in interventional oncology and beyond. Her achievements position her as a key figure in the integration of robotics into routine radiological practice.
