About
Jeroen Veltman is a leading researcher in the field of medical robotics, with a specialized focus on MRI-compatible and ultrasound-guided robotic systems for breast cancer diagnosis. His work centers on developing precise, minimally invasive tools to improve the accuracy and efficiency of breast biopsies — a critical step in early cancer detection. Veltman is best known for his contributions to the Stormram and Sunram series of robotic systems, a progression of increasingly refined MRI-safe robots designed to perform breast biopsies under MR guidance. These pneumatically actuated systems are engineered to operate within the confined, high-magnetic-field environment of MRI scanners — a significant engineering challenge. The Stormram series, spanning versions 2 through 4, has collectively garnered over 130 citations, reflecting strong recognition from the medical robotics community. His 2020 work on a robot-assisted ultrasound-guided biopsy end-effector further extended his contributions into 3D ultrasound-guided interventions, earning 54 citations. Through iterative design and rigorous preclinical validation, Veltman has helped bridge the gap between advanced medical imaging and robotic precision, offering a promising pathway toward more reliable early-stage breast cancer diagnosis. His sustained body of work represents a meaningful contribution to image-guided intervention technology.
