About
Thomas M. Freiman is a neurosurgeon and clinical researcher whose work sits at the intersection of epilepsy surgery, stereotactic neurosurgery, and emerging robotic technologies. His research has made meaningful contributions to the presurgical evaluation and surgical treatment of epilepsy, with a particular focus on improving safety, precision, and efficiency in invasive monitoring procedures. Freiman's most influential work, cited over 50 times, provides a systematic analysis of complications associated with invasive EEG electrode implantation — a critical resource for epilepsy centers worldwide seeking to benchmark and minimize procedural risk. Complementing this, his series of studies on robot-assisted stereoelectroencephalography (sEEG) has helped advance the field by demonstrating that facial laser scan referencing can replace CT-based referencing without sacrificing accuracy, reducing radiation exposure for patients. Beyond epilepsy surgery, Freiman has expanded his research into robotic stereotaxy more broadly, comparing frame-based and frameless robotic approaches for intracranial biopsies and phantom-model accuracy testing. His 2017 work on pediatric brainstem biopsies further highlights his commitment to high-stakes, minimally invasive interventions in vulnerable populations. Across his body of work, Freiman has established himself as a rigorous and practically oriented contributor to modern functional and stereotactic neurosurgery.
