Biography

Professor Antonio Esposito is the Deputy Scientific Director, Head of the Cardiovascular Imaging Functional Unit within the Radiology Department led by Professor Francesco De Cobelli, and Head of the Radiology Unit for Personalized Medicine at IRCCS Ospedale San Raffaele.

After getting the Degree in Medicine and Surgery at the University Vita-Salute San Raffaele of Milan in 2003, he specialized in Radiology at the same University in 2007, in both cases with honors.

He has a comprehensive background in diagnostic and interventional body radiology, which helps him to perform cardiovascular, emergency/urgent, oncology and musculoskeletal imaging on a daily basis. His interest is focused in particular on cardio-thoracic-vascular and urological pathologies and their study by means of Cardiac MRI, Cardiac and Coronary Angio-CT, Total Body Angio-CT and of the lower and upper limbs, Multiparametric Magnetic Resonance Imaging of the prostate (mpMRI) and "in-bore" MRI-guided prostate biopsy, and more generally by means of Computed Tomography and thoraco-abdominal MR.

Within the IRCCS San Raffaele Scientific Institute, he holds the positions of Vice-Director of Experimental Imaging and the head of the Preclinical Imaging Facility of Ospedale San Raffaele Hospital. He is Full Professor of Radiology at the University Vita-Salute San Raffaele of Milan.

His research activity involves multiple advanced applications of body MRI and CT in particular in the field of cardiovascular, cellular and prostate imaging.

He is the author and co-author of more than 140 publications in high-impact international scientific journals, as well as the author of several book chapters. The high intensity and impact of the research carried out is documented by the values of H-index and i10-index (H-index source scopus = 30; H-index source Google Scholar = 32; i10-index = 70) particularly high in relation to age and academic. Prof. Antonio Esposito is Principal Investigator (PI) or co-PI of several research projects in the field of cardiovascular imaging and prostate cancer imaging, including multicenter projects. He is constantly invited as a speaker to the most important national and international congresses of the sector.

Prof. Antonio Esposito actively contributes to the development and clinical-scientific distribution of achievements in cardiovascular imaging with CT and MRI, for which he was elected President of the Study Section of Cardioradiology of the Italian Society of Medical Radiology (SIRM) for the period of 2021 - 2022.
