Notes

Top Italian Scientist in Physics

He is a Specialists in Medical Physics, Expert for the safety in NIR (Non Ionizing Radiation), Expert for the Magnetic Resonance Safety, Expert for the Medical LASERs Safety, Expert for Electromagnetic Fields Safety and Expert in Radioprotection.

His researches are devoted to apply the brain analysis technique as EEG and fMRI and developing new methods of integration between imaging and innovative biological techniques (Metabolomics) to improve the quality of diagnosis processes. As Coordinator of the medical Physics Service of the AOUCA , his contributions are strictly related to quality safety and cost-effectiveness of healthcare services. From this point of view, his activities are patient-oriented, and he is involved in the specification, selection, acceptance testing, commissioning, quality assurance/control and optimised clinical use of medical devices. Further, his activity regard patient risks evaluation and protection from all associated physical agents (x-rays, electromagnetic fields, laser light, radionuclides activity), including the prevention of unintended or accidental exposures.

Author of the following book chapters:

1. Imaging in Neurodegenerative Disorders.
2. Developmental Nephrology: from Embryology to Metabolomics.
3. Magnetic Resonance Imaging Handbook.
4. Neuroimaging of Pain.
5. Elementi di radiobiologia e Radioprotezione.

and Editor in Chief of two Journals of Public Health research:

1. Editor in Chief Journal of Public Health Research.
2. Editor in Chief Healthcare in low-resource Settings.
