Clinical Trials

highlight

The Department of Radiology performed 100.000 different diagnostic examinations and interventional procedures per year, 8% of them in patients enrolled in clinical trials.

The Division includes the following units: Interventional Radiology Unit

Our Activities

The Department's scientific activity is coordinated by a specialized staff of radiologists, technicians, secretaries, data managers, physicists, bio-engineers and statisticians. The main researches are dedicated to early diagnosis and functional imaging which led to clinical applications.

The early diagnosis studies allowed to develop an extraordinary tool in oncological screening: the whole-body diffusion is able to diagnose the presence of asymptomatic tumors through a special exam of Magnetic Resonance.

The observational study performed since 2000 on 6000 volunteers with low dose CT for early diagnosis of lung cancer, is recognized as one of the most important research project worldwide, showing the possibility to offer an effective secondary prevention of lung cancer for smokers. The use of latest generation CT equipment allows to perform virtual colonoscopy examinations with a very low dose of radiation.
Being between pioneers of functional imaging studies gave us the opportunity of developing a state-of-the-art techniques in Magnetic Resonance ad the Multi-parametric Magnetic Resonance Imaging (mp-MRI) in Prostate, which is the current most advance technique in the study of this organ.

The Division includes the following units: Interventional Radiology Unit
