About
Fabian Hensbergen is a surgical imaging researcher whose work bridges nuclear medicine and intraoperative fluorescence guidance, with a focus on prostate cancer surgery. His key research areas include hybrid tracer development, PSMA-targeted imaging, and the translation of microdosing techniques from radioguided to fluorescence-guided surgery. His most cited study demonstrates the feasibility of using a hybrid PSMA tracer for fluorescence imaging at microdosing levels during robot-assisted radical prostatectomy in a large animal model—a critical step toward enabling real-time visual confirmation of tumor margins without compromising the safety or specificity of low-dose radiotracers. This work addresses a growing clinical demand as PSMA radioguided surgery gains traction, offering a pathway to combine the sensitivity of nuclear imaging with the practicality of optical guidance. With 11 citations for this 2022 paper, Hensbergen’s contributions are shaping how surgeons might one day see and remove prostate cancer with greater precision. His research is particularly notable for tackling the challenge of maintaining tracer efficacy at microdoses, a hurdle that has limited the adoption of fluorescence in radioguided settings.
