biography
Miguel Souto Bayarri, MD, PhD, is a University-Professor of Radiology at the University of Santiago de Compostela, Spain.He completed his PhD degree in digital image processing of chest radiographs (1990). After obtaining a grant from the Spanish Ministry of Education, he had, a) a postdoctoral fellowship at the University of Alabama at Birmingham, with professor Robert G. Fraser, M.D. (1991-92), and b) two fellowships in the department of Radiology at Johns Hopkins University (Baltimore, MD) with professor Elias Zerhouni, M.D., former chair of the NIH (1993-94). From these years are several publications, among them, three publications in “Radiology” and a State-of-the-art published in “European Radiology”.He published more than 100 papers, including peer reviewed journals, chapters and international proceedings.
