About

Giuseppe Scotti is a researcher whose work sits at the intersection of medical imaging and oncology, with a sharp focus on acoustic neuroma (vestibular schwannoma)—a benign but potentially serious intracranial tumor. His primary research area is radiomics, a field that extracts quantitative, often invisible features from medical images to improve diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment planning. Scotti’s major contribution lies in pioneering the use of radiomics to predict patient response to CyberKnife stereotactic radiosurgery, a non-invasive treatment for controlling tumor growth. His pilot study (2018, 4 citations) and subsequent work (2019, 4 citations) established early frameworks for this predictive approach, while his most-cited paper, “Tackling imbalance radiomics in acoustic neuroma” (2019, 8 citations), directly addresses a critical methodological challenge: class imbalance in small medical datasets, which can skew machine learning models. By developing strategies to handle this imbalance, Scotti has enhanced the reliability of radiomic predictions, moving the field closer to personalized radiosurgery planning. His cumulative work, though early in citation impact, represents a foundational step toward non-invasive, data-driven treatment decisions for acoustic neuroma patients.
