About
Karen Eliahu is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of neurosurgery, robotics, and advanced visualization technologies. Her work centers on developing and validating robotic guidance platforms for minimally invasive procedures, with a particular focus on laser interstitial thermal ablation (LITT) and stereotactic needle biopsies. In her most cited study (18 citations), she demonstrated the clinical utility of a robotic platform for precise tumor ablation and biopsy, establishing a foundation for broader adoption of automated surgical assistance. Eliahu has also been at the forefront of integrating augmented and virtual reality into robot-assisted spine surgery, exploring how immersive technologies can enhance surgical planning, navigation, and intraoperative decision-making. Her contributions are shaping the next generation of smart operating rooms, where robotics and digital overlays work in concert to improve accuracy and patient outcomes. With a citation trajectory reflecting growing interest in her work, Eliahu is recognized as a rising voice in surgical innovation, bridging engineering and clinical practice to make complex procedures safer and more accessible.
