Biography

Cicero Silva, MD, is a pediatric radiologist specializing in imaging the chest and abdomen. Dr. Silva has been at the forefront of pediatric radiology research, especially in using ultrasounds to look at the neonatal GI tract to diagnose necrotizing enterocolitis and midgut volvulus, conditions primarily affecting babies.

Dr. Silva has won three Walter E. Berdon awards for his papers on ultrasound, MRI, and CT scans. This award, from the Society for Pediatric Radiology, recognizes the best clinical research in the field.

He is also active in global health initiatives to address the lack of pediatric radiologists in low-resource countries, a gap that means many children don’t receive proper diagnoses or care. The World Federation of Pediatric Imaging offers free, second-opinion teleradiology consults to referring physicians. Dr. Silva led the outreach team for several years and remains engaged with the group.

Dr. Silva is an associate professor of radiology and biomedical imaging at Yale School of Medicine and is the section chief for Pediatric Radiology.
