The federal Project Grant award R01EB036015, funded by the National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering (NIBIB) under the "Discovery and Applied Research for Technological Innovations to Improve Human Health" program (CFDA 93.286), supports the development of a novel robotic catheter placement system with shape-sensing technology to enable adaptive, real-time image-guided brachytherapy for gynecologic cancers. The $1,938,467 award will fund the creation of a teleoperated catheter insertion manipulator and a fiber-optic shape-sensing stylet to provide real-time quantitative feedback on catheter trajectories, allowing clinicians to optimize radiation dose distribution through frequent iterations of the plan-insert-check cycle. This technology aims to improve the precision and effectiveness of brachytherapy procedures, which are a critical component of standard-of-care treatment for advanced cervical and endometrial cancers. The grant was awarded to Brigham & Women's Hospital, a Harvard-affiliated academic medical center, with a sub-award to The Johns Hopkins University to support specific research and development activities.
