About
Pierleone Lucatelli is a leading interventional radiologist whose work sits at the intersection of advanced imaging, minimally invasive oncology, and precision surgery. His primary research focuses on the development and clinical application of cone-beam CT (CBCT)-guided techniques for tumor targeting, particularly in the kidney. Lucatelli’s most notable contribution is pioneering a method for transarterial tagging of endophytic renal tumors with indocyanine green (ICG) prior to robot-assisted partial nephrectomy. This approach, detailed in his highly cited 2022 paper (7 citations), allows surgeons to visualize otherwise invisible tumors in real-time during robotic surgery, dramatically improving the precision of nephron-sparing procedures. By bridging interventional radiology and urologic surgery, his work reduces positive surgical margins and preserves healthy renal tissue. With a growing citation impact, Lucatelli’s innovations represent a paradigm shift in how complex renal masses are managed, offering patients safer, more effective treatment. His ongoing research continues to refine these image-guided, multi-disciplinary strategies, positioning him as a key figure in the evolution of interventional oncology.
