Radiology

Dr. Anabel Scaranelo is a practicing teleradiologist in downtown Toronto and enthusiast of big data analysis. She has held several awards, leadership and committee positions in her career. Anabel is one of the few Canadians to be inducted as a Fellow of the Society of Breast Imaging in the USA for her contributions to the practice. She also enjoys mentoring and is an Assistant Professor at the University of Toronto in the Medical Imaging Department where she trained since 2008 many clinical fellows and residents in the realms of a very subspecialized area (Breast Imaging) that requires empathy and creates strong connection with cancer patients. She is a founder member of the Canadian Society of Breast Imaging and continues to be involved in medical education through peer-review, teaching for small or large audiences and medical writing. She is frequently described by her peers as someone who thinks outside the box and is always very authentic. Dr Scaranelo has been a meditator for more than two decades and she is fully licensed to work independently in the UK, Brazil and Ontario. She has worked in both private sector and academia during her career. Dr Scaranelo is bilingual and speaks both English and Portuguese fluently. She likes networking and is co-founder with Dr Ivone Martins Ferreira of the BDC- Brazilian Doctors in Canada, an online social media platform to connect Brazilian physicians currently living in the country, which is a great helping hand to the newcomers physicians.
