About
Michele Anzidei is a leading researcher at the intersection of interventional radiology and medical robotics, with a primary focus on enhancing the precision and safety of percutaneous needle-based procedures. His most impactful work centers on the clinical translation of robotic systems for CT-guided biopsies, where he has pioneered comparisons between automated and conventional manual techniques. His landmark 2014 study, cited 56 times, provided the first clinical evidence that dedicated interventional robots can improve accuracy in lung lesion biopsies, establishing a benchmark for the field. Anzidei has also made critical contributions to the modeling of needle-tissue interaction forces, developing online identification models that enable force feedback enhancement in robot-assisted interventions. This work, detailed in his 2021 publication (20 citations), addresses a fundamental challenge in interventional robotics: providing clinicians with realistic haptic feedback during needle insertion to improve placement accuracy and patient safety. By bridging the gap between theoretical force models and real-time clinical application, Anzidei’s research is helping to make robotic-assisted biopsies and tumor ablations safer and more reliable, positioning him as a key figure in the evolution of computer-integrated interventional medicine.
