Deniz Bilecen

About

Deniz Bilecen is a pioneer at the intersection of radiology and orthopaedic surgery, specializing in CT-guided robotic assistance and medical technology integration. His major contributions center on developing and validating mechatronic systems for precise, minimally invasive interventions. In his landmark 2009 study, Bilecen demonstrated a novel CT-guided robotically-assisted technique for diagnostic foot and ankle joint infiltrations, achieving high accuracy in 16 patients (20 citations). He also played a key role in conceptualizing the multifunctional sterile suite—a groundbreaking integration of CT, angiography, navigation, and robotics for intra-operative imaging and therapy (17 citations). His early work on robotically assisted CT-based procedures (10 citations) further established the clinical feasibility of these systems for bone and soft-tissue punctures, including pelvic fracture fixation. With over 48 citations across his most influential papers, Bilecen’s research has laid the foundation for safer, more precise orthopaedic interventions. His achievements include the first clinical use of a CE-certified, CT/MRI-compatible robotic assistance device, marking a significant milestone in image-guided surgery.
