Douglas Carli Silva is a Biomedical Scientist specialized in Medical Imaging and a PhD candidate in Cardiac Imaging at the University of São Paulo’s Faculty of Medicine (InRad–FMUSP). His academic and professional work integrates advanced imaging technologies, clinical research, and education to improve diagnostic accuracy and patient-centered care across Latin America.
With extensive experience in Computed Tomography (CT) and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), Douglas focuses on cardiovascular and neuroimaging, including dual-energy CT, photon-counting CT, cardiac CT angiography, stroke imaging, and advanced cardiac MRI protocols. His doctoral research evaluates ischemic and non-ischemic cardiomyopathies using ultra-high-field 7 Tesla MRI, investigating innovative approaches for structural, functional, and metabolic characterization through proton and sodium imaging.
Douglas collaborates with academic institutions, hospitals, and research groups throughout Latin America, supporting the development of imaging protocols, educational programs, and clinical research initiatives aimed at expanding access to high-quality imaging and strengthening multidisciplinary care pathways. His work includes the design of comprehensive training frameworks for CT and MRI, development of imaging-based clinical workflows, and implementation of research methodologies for precision diagnostics.
