Carlo Martinoli received his medical degree in 1986 at the University of Genoa, Italy and became a specialist in diagnostic radiology in 1989 at the University of Cagliari, Italy. He has held positions of Staff Radiologist, Assistant Professor of Radiology and Associate Professor of Radiology at the University of Genoa. Currently, he is Full Professor of Radiology and Director of the Postgraduate School of Diagnostic Radiology at this University. He is also Head of the Emergency Radiology Unit at the University-Hospital of Genoa (IRCCS Ospedale Policlinico San Martino), Italy.
Since 1989, his clinical practice has mainly involved ultrasound and imaging of the musculoskeletal and peripheral nervous systems. He has devoted more than 25 years to education in the field of musculoskeletal radiology and he is author of a preeminent textbook on Musculoskeletal Ultrasound (Bianchi S., Martinoli C. Ultrasound of the Musculoskeletal System. Ed. Springer Verlag, Heidelberg 2007) that has been listed within the top 10 best-selling scientific books of Springer Verlag in 2010. The original version of the book has been written in English. It was then translated in Korean, Turkish, Polish, Spanish and Chinese. Throughout his career, Carlo Martinoli has received numerous teaching and professional awards from Scientific Societies, including RSNA, ARRS, ECR, ESPR and ESUR-SUR. He has published 322 (according to Scopus statistics®) scientific articles in international medical journals (English literature) in which manuscript decisions are based on peer review (H-index =68; citations =15553 according to Google Scholar® statistics: H-index=54 according to Scopus statistics®). He has also been included in the list of top 1.5% international scientists (Plos Biology®) and has held over one thousand invited lectures at international courses or congresses.
Carlo Martinoli developed the HEAD-US system (Haemophilia Early Arthropathy Detection with Ultrasound), a point-of-care technique and scoring scale providing a simplified technique that focuses on the 3 joints affected in haemophilia, a flexible and repeatable tool that haemophilia specialists can integrate into the routine monitoring of patients, and the scoring of disease activity and disease damage to optimize prophylaxis management. This HEAD-US technique has now become a global standard (>150 publications reported in PubMed@) for screening joints to detect occult disease activity and recognize early osteochondral damage in these patients.
