About

S. Nahum Goldberg is a prominent researcher specializing in image-guided interventional procedures and robotic systems for minimally invasive medicine. His work has focused particularly on advancing the precision and safety of CT-guided percutaneous needle insertion, a critical technique used in clinical biopsies and targeted therapies. Goldberg's most significant contributions center on the development and clinical evaluation of robotic systems designed to enhance the accuracy of needle placement during CT-guided procedures. His landmark 2018 study evaluating a CT-guided robotic system garnered 83 citations, establishing foundational evidence for robotic-assisted percutaneous interventions. Building on this, his 2021 clinical evaluation study further validated these systems in real-world settings, accumulating 48 citations and strengthening the case for clinical adoption. His more recent 2022 prospective, multi-center investigation into a novel hands-free robotic system demonstrates his commitment to translating innovation into practical clinical workflows, balancing procedural accuracy with radiation dose reduction — a meaningful advancement for both patients and clinicians. Collectively, Goldberg's research has meaningfully shaped the trajectory of interventional radiology, providing the evidence base necessary for broader integration of robotic guidance into modern clinical practice.
