Marco Pinho

Dr. Marco Pinho is an Associate Professor of Radiology at UT Southwestern Medical Center and serves as the Associate Chief of the Neuroradiology Division. His clinical expertise spans cross-sectional imaging of neurological diseases and oncologic imaging, with a particular focus on brain tumor characterization and neurological disorders.

Dr. Pinho received his medical degree from Universidade Estadual De Campinas in São Paulo, Brazil. He completed his radiology residency and advanced fellowship training in neuroradiology at Universidade De São Paulo, followed by a research fellowship at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston.

Dr. Pinho's research program centers on the development and validation of advanced MRI techniques for evaluating central nervous system malignancies, with a particular emphasis on response assessment in clinical trials. His work involves close collaboration with basic scientists, neuro-oncologists, and neurosurgeons at UT Southwestern. His research spans multiple domains including:

• Advanced MRI techniques for brain tumor characterization
• Hyperpolarized metabolic imaging for neuro-oncology applications
• Neurovascular imaging and cerebrovascular reactivity mapping
• Deep learning applications for brain tumor segmentation and molecular classification
• Motion correction techniques in functional MRI

Dr. Pinho's extensive publication record demonstrates a consistent focus on advancing neuroimaging techniques, particularly in the areas of brain tumor imaging, cerebrovascular disorders like Moyamoya disease, and the application of advanced MRI methodologies. His work frequently bridges the gap between technical MRI development and clinical applications in neuro-oncology and neurovascular disease.

Dr. Pinho actively contributes to medical education and leadership at UT Southwestern, having previously served as the Associate Program Director of the Radiology Residency Program and coordinator of the Global Health Teleradiology program. He currently serves on several important committees including the Radiology Resident Selection Committee, the Clinical Competency Committee, the Brain Tumor Committee, and the Intracranial Pressure Disorder IPT.

Dr. Pinho maintains active membership in numerous professional organizations:

• Radiological Society of North America
• International Society of Magnetic Resonance in Medicine
• American Society of Neuroradiology
• American Society of Spine Radiology
• American Society of Functional Neuroradiology
• Sociedade Paulista de Radiologia
