About
Marieke van Son is a pioneering researcher in the field of interventional oncology, with a focus on advancing precision medicine through robotic-assisted, MR-guided cancer therapies. Her primary research areas include high-dose-rate (HDR) brachytherapy, medical robotics, and image-guided interventions for prostate cancer treatment. Van Son’s most notable contribution is the ROBiNSon (Robotic MR-guided high dose rate brachytherapy needle implantation in the prostate) project, a proof-of-concept study demonstrating the feasibility and spatial accuracy of a robotic needle implant device for HDR prostate brachytherapy. This work, published in 2024, has already garnered 2 citations, signaling early impact in a rapidly evolving field. By integrating real-time MR imaging with robotic precision, van Son addresses critical challenges in needle placement accuracy, potentially reducing procedural complications and improving patient outcomes. Her research bridges engineering and clinical oncology, offering a transformative approach to minimally invasive cancer treatment. As a rising figure in interventional radiology, van Son’s work holds promise for expanding robotic brachytherapy to other anatomical sites, marking her as a key innovator in the next generation of cancer care technologies.
