Imaging for Plastic Surgery

Luca Saba works at the Azienda Ospedaliero Universitaria (AOU) of Cagliari, Italy. His research is focused on neuroradiology, multi-detector-row computed tomography, magnetic resonance, ultrasound, and diagnostic in vascular sciences. Widely published in numerous peer-reviewed journals, he has edited 5 books, written 7 book chapters, presented more than 400 papers in National and International Congress (RSNA, ESGAR, ECR, ISR, AOCR, AINR, JRS, SIRM, AINR), and won 6 scientific and extracurricular awards. He is a member of the Italian Society of Radiology (SIRM), European Society of Radiology (ESR), Radiological Society of North America (RSNA), American Roentgen Ray Society (ARRS), and European Society of Neuroradiology (ESNR). Warren M. Rozen combines clinical practice in plastic and reconstructive surgery with translational research as an assistant professor at Monash University, Clayton, Victoria, Australia. He holds an MBBS, PGDipSurgAnat, BMedSc, and Ph.D from the University of Melbourne, Parkville, Australia, and an MD from James Cook University, Townsville, Queensland, Australia. Widely published and a popular invited keynote and guest speaker, he is the senior author and/or editor of 20 textbooks in reconstructive surgery and the recipient of more than 60 awards for his work. He holds editorial board positions on 9 international journals including the Annals of Plastic Surgery and Microsurgery and Journal of Reconstructive Microsurgery. Alberto Alonso-Burgos, MD, Ph.D, is a consultant radiologist in the Vascular and Interventional Radiology Unit at University Hospital Fundación Jiménez Díaz, Madrid, Spain. He completed all his medical training (MD 2003, Ph.D 2009, and diagnostic radiology residency 2008) at the University of Navarra and Clinic University of Navarra, Pamplona, Spain. His research has been focused on CT and MRI angiography for reconstructive surgery and preoperative 3D planning as well as oncologic interventional radiology. He has published more than 25 papers and 10 book chapters, and has edited textbooks including this first general imaging text for reconstructive plastic surgery. Prof. Diego Ribuffo is a European board-certified plastic surgeon, and combines clinical practice with teaching and research at Sapienza University in Rome, Italy. His main clinical interests are reconstructive microsurgery and breast surgery. He has authored more than 200 publications, 2 books, and has given more than 100 presentations at national and international meetings. He has won several scientific prizes, and is on the editorial board of two international journals. After completing two fellowships in Atlanta and Melbourne, and being associate professor for eight years at Cagliari University, he is now back in his home university, where he currently serves as associate professor in plastic surgery in the Department of Surgery "P Valdoni".
