About
Markus Kleemann is a leading researcher at the intersection of medical robotics, ultrasound imaging, and vascular medicine. His work centers on developing autonomous and semi-automated ultrasound systems to overcome the limitations of traditional, user-dependent imaging—particularly for peripheral arterial disease (PAD). Kleemann’s major contributions include pioneering robotized ultrasound for peripheral artery scanning and correlating chest surface motion with liver movement using ε-SVR, enabling tumor motion compensation during laparoscopic interventions. His most cited paper (25 citations) established a porcine model for respiratory motion tracking, while his phantom study on robotized ultrasound (14 citations) demonstrated a path toward safer, radiation-free endovascular navigation. Notably, his 2024 study introduced robotic-assisted ultrasound-guided stent implantation in a vascular model, reducing reliance on X-ray and contrast agents. Kleemann also explores AI applications in vascular surgery, as seen in his German-language review. With a growing body of work that bridges engineering and clinical practice, he is shaping the future of non-invasive, image-guided interventions.
