Luiz Felippe de Queirós Mattoso was born on July 4, 1937, in the city of Rio de Janeiro, to Joaquim de Queirós Mattoso Filho and Helena Artheu Queirós Mattoso.
He is a class of 1961 medical graduate from the now defunct National College of Medicine of the University of Brazil, current Faculty of Medicine of the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ).
Still in 1961, Mattoso began his career as an intern at the Radiology Service of the Hospital de Clínicas Dr. Manuel Quintela of the University of the Republic Faculty of Medicine in Montevidéu, Uruguay.
The following year, the young physician served as a Medical Resident in Radiology at the Massachusetts General Hospital, a position he held until 1965. In addition, Mattoso worked as a Professor at the School of Radiological Techniques. In April 1964, he was designated as the physician responsible for the Diagnostic Radiology and Radiotherapy Department to attend the Oak Ridge Institute for Nuclear Studies medical center. The latter institution ultimately awarded him the title of Honorary Citizen of Tennessee in recognition of his efforts there. He also served as a Visiting Professor at the University of California’s (UCLA) Radiology Department in 1972.
Back in Brazil, Dr. Mattoso helmed the State University of Rio de Janeiro (UERJ) Pedro Ernesto Hospital University’s Radiology Department, where in January 1966 he envisioned and enforced efforts to establish its Medical Residency program in Radiology. In addition, he occupied the roles of Professor of Radiology at the Petrópolis Medical School, Carlos Chagas Postgraduate Medical Institute, and the State University of Rio de Janeiro (UERJ).
In 1970, the radiology expert was invited to plan, set up and run the Rio de Janeiro-based São Vicente Clinic’s Radiology Department, which he diligently fulfilled until 1978.
Dr. Mattoso ranks as one of the true pioneers of Interventional Radiology as well as other, new imaging diagnostics tests such as US, TC, RM and PET-CT.
Among the celebrated radiologist’s numerous accolades and distinctions, one particularly worth noting is the title of Physician of the Year awarded by the State of Rio de Janeiro Medical and Surgical Society in 2005.
Moreover, Dr. Mattoso holds membership to various medical institutions, namely the Brazilian Medical Association (AMB); Rio de Janeiro Medical and Surgical Society; Brazilian Society of Radiology (SOBRICE); Brazilian Society of Neuroradiology; Radiological Society of North America, to which he was elected in 1972; and the Brazilian Society of Angiology and Vascular Surgery (SBACV).
He also passed a diploma-based public admissions exam to be appointed as a Full Member of the Brazilian College of Radiology and was elected an Honorary Member of the Portuguese Society of Radiology and Nuclear Medicine (SPRMN), in addition to composing the Alumni Association of the Massachusetts General Hospital – Harvard Medical School. To wrap up his extensive list of titles, Dr. Mattoso is part of the Brazilian Society of Nephrology, Association of Gynecology and Obstetrics of the State of Rio de Janeiro (SGORJ) and the Brazilian College of Surgeons.
Dr. Mattoso also pioneered another medical procedure, more specifically the use of percutaneous nephrostomy and intra-abdominal abscess techniques.
During his candidacy to secure Full Membership at the Academia Nacional de Medicina (National Academy of Medicine – ANM), the renowned radiologist submitted a dissertation entitled “Abdominal Computed Tomography (CT).”
And on September 2, 2016, Dr. Luiz Felippe de Queirós Mattos was honored with the designation of Emeritus Member of the Academia Nacional de Medicina (National Academy of Medicine – ANM).
