identify imaging biomarkers for early detection, therapy response assessment, and patient
stratification. She has coordinated major eu-funded initiatives (e.g., HEAL ITALIA, D3 4 Health,
EUCAIM) and clinical research randomized trials (e.g., PROSA-I for prostate cancer screening using
MRI), with a leadership role in applying advanced imaging to real-world screening and treatment
strategies. In recognition of her contributions, professor Panebianco was appointed by who to
contribute to the blue book on urinary tumors and has been invited to lecture at all major radiological
and urological congresses.
