Fiona Gilbert

Fiona Gilbert holds the Chair of Radiology at the University of Cambridge since 2011 and serves as an Honorary Consultant Radiologist at Addenbrooke's Hospital. She currently leads as President of the European Society of Breast Imaging (EUSOBI) and chairs the breast subcommittee of the Radiological Society of North America. Her extensive leadership history includes Chair of the Academic Committee of the Royal College of Radiologists, Chair of the NCRI Imaging Advisory Group, and Chair of the Royal College of Radiologists Breast Group, with significant contributions to NICE and SIGN breast imaging guidelines.

Her research centers on advancing breast imaging for early cancer detection, with core interests in breast Tomosynthesis, non-FDG radiotracers, and breast MRI for tumor physiology analysis. She pioneers risk-adapted screening protocols for women with dense breasts using multimodal imaging and variable mammography frequency. A major focus involves integrating Artificial Intelligence into radiology workflows to enhance diagnostic accuracy, reduce errors, and optimize resource allocation in cancer screening programs.

Analysis of her recent publications reveals dominant themes in AI-driven screening optimization, supplemental imaging for dense breasts (BRAID trial), and preoperative MRI impact on surgical outcomes (MIPA study). She leads international initiatives like MyPeBS for personalized risk-stratified screening while addressing critical ethical and equity challenges in AI implementation. Her work consistently bridges technical innovation with clinical guideline development across European radiology practice.

Professor Gilbert is embedded in the Cambridge Mathematics of Information in Healthcare (CMIH) Hub at the Centre for Mathematical Sciences, fostering interdisciplinary collaboration between mathematicians, computer scientists, and clinicians to develop computational solutions for healthcare challenges, particularly in oncology imaging and AI validation frameworks.
