About
Ilaria Bagni is a pioneering urological pathologist whose work bridges the gap between rapid intraoperative imaging and diagnostic precision. Her primary research focuses on the application of ex vivo fluorescence confocal microscopy (FCM) in prostate cancer, a field she helped launch with the first-ever study applying this novel optical technology to real-time pathological examination of prostatic tissue. Her landmark 2019 paper, cited over 85 times, demonstrated that FCM could provide high-resolution microscopic images of unfixed specimens, enabling immediate assessment of both benign and malignant prostate tissue without traditional processing delays. This breakthrough has significant implications for improving surgical decision-making and reducing patient anxiety during prostate biopsies and radical prostatectomies. Bagni’s work has established a new paradigm in uropathology, showing that optical imaging can match or exceed the diagnostic accuracy of conventional histology while dramatically accelerating turnaround time. Her contributions are shaping the future of point-of-care pathology, offering surgeons and patients faster, more reliable diagnoses.
