About
Jose D. Velazco-Garcia is a leading researcher at the intersection of medical robotics, augmented reality (AR), and image-guided interventions, with a primary focus on improving prostate cancer diagnosis. His work centers on developing and evaluating interactive planning software and user interfaces for transrectal MR-guided prostate biopsies (MRgPBx). A key contribution is his pioneering investigation into how holographic AR surgical scenes and head-mounted displays can enhance the planning and execution of these procedures, moving beyond traditional 2D screens to immersive 3D visualization. His research demonstrates that intuitive interfaces are critical for the effective use of robotic manipulators in clinical settings. With his most cited paper garnering 34 citations, his work has been instrumental in shaping the design of interventional planning environments. Notably, he has developed a comprehensive platform integrating acquisition, reconstruction, visualization, and manipulator control for MRI-guided interventions, and his prototype holographic interface represents a significant step toward more interactive and immersive control of surgical robots, directly impacting the future of minimally invasive urological procedures.
