As an advocate and pioneer of point-of-care lung ultrasound, Luna has played a key role in bringing this technology full-circle. Meg and Luna talk about the dramatic impact one key mentor made in her career, why, despite much resistance, Luna was confident a novel technology she was researching would one day become widely accepted, and the value of carefully choosing what to focus one’s research on especially if, like Luna, you are naturally curious and passionate about making an impact in a wide variety of challenges in healthcare.

Meg e Luna parlano non solo del ruolo cruciale che un mentore ha avuto nello sviluppo personale e professionale della dottoressa, ma anche del motivo per cui, nonostante le molte resistenze, Luna era sicura che quella nuova tecnologia che stava investigando sarebbe stata un giorno ampiamente accettata. Infine, si confrontano sull’importanza di scegliere scrupolosamente l’oggetto della propria ricerca soprattutto se, come Luna, si e’ curiosi di natura ed intenzionati ad avere un impatto concreto nel vasto spettro di sfide che si profilano nel settore sanitario.

Luna Gargani, MD is a Cardiologist and Researcher at the University of Pisa in Pisa, Italy. At the time of this recording, she had been Senior Researcher for the Institute of Clinical Physiology of the National Research Council for 18 years.

Dr. Gargani’s research focuses on cardiovascular imaging and point-of-care echocardiography. She is a pioneer in lung ultrasound, a recognized expert on the topic and was a member of the committee that wrote the first set of international, evidence-based recommendations for point-of-care lung ultrasound.
