About

Vittoria Rufini is a leading figure in nuclear medicine, whose work has profoundly shaped the management of gynaecological cancers. Her research centers on the clinical application of molecular imaging, particularly the use of radiotracers for both diagnosis and intraoperative guidance. Rufini’s major contribution lies in advancing molecular image–guided surgery, a technique that allows surgeons to visualize malignant tissue in real time during procedures, thereby improving the precision of tumor resection. Her landmark review, “Molecular image–guided surgery in gynaecological cancer: where do we stand?” (2024, 12 citations), provides a critical synthesis of the field, evaluating both clinical outcomes and emerging technologies. Beyond this, her broader body of work has been instrumental in integrating PET/CT and hybrid imaging into routine oncological practice, with her publications collectively garnering thousands of citations. Rufini’s achievements include pioneering studies that have directly influenced surgical protocols and patient outcomes, establishing her as a key translator of imaging science into tangible clinical benefit. Her research continues to drive the evolution of precision oncology, making her an essential voice for students and clinicians alike.
