About
Dr. Keryn Palmer is a biomedical engineer whose research focuses on advancing precision in image-guided percutaneous interventions. Her primary contributions lie in the development of novel sensing technologies to improve the accuracy and safety of needle-based diagnostic and therapeutic procedures, particularly those guided by CT and MRI. Her most cited work, the 2014 paper "Development and evaluation of optical needle depth sensor for percutaneous diagnosis and therapies," addresses a critical limitation in current clinical practice: the lack of real-time, precise depth monitoring during needle insertion. By engineering an optical sensor integrated directly into the needle, Dr. Palmer’s innovation aims to reduce reliance on external depth markers and confirmatory imaging, thereby minimizing the risk of placement errors and improving procedural outcomes. This foundational work, while early in its citation impact, demonstrates her commitment to translating engineering solutions into tangible clinical tools. Dr. Palmer’s research sits at the intersection of optics, medical device design, and interventional radiology, offering a promising pathway toward safer, more efficient percutaneous procedures.
