Dr Calabria is a clinician in the Department of Nuclear Medicine and Theranostics, “Mariano Santo” Hospital, Cosenza, Italy. He graduated in Medicine in 2005 and finished his specialization in Nuclear Medicine in 2010. He was Head of the Department of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging in the Research Institute “Neuromed” in Southern Italy from 2010 to 2014; Researcher for the Italian National Research Council (CNR) in Southern Italy on hybrid PET/MRI scanner from 2015 to 2017.
His specific scientific interest is aimed to deep the knowledge of the physio- pathological features of PET radiopharmaceuticals and their bio-distribution in order to verify further diagnostic applications. Another topic is the fusion of functional and anatomical images and the added value in patient care of hybrid scanners as PET/MRI, PET/CT and SPECT/CT in oncology and neurology.
