Cristina Poggi has had a permanent position as Radiographer since 1994, after getting the Bachelor degree in Radiologic and Imaging Science at the University of Florence in 1993 (ratified by DM 19/2/2009). In the last 20 years she devoted herself to the work of Breast Radiographer. She took a master course (first level) in Magnetic Resonance Imaging in 2013. She has pursued the career of educator and trainer in Senology since 2010, building her expertise taking advanced courses, held both in Italy and in Europe, including some by professor Tabar, L., MD (FACR). She also keeps up to date consulting the latest news in this field, from European Commission on Breast Cancer (ECBC) and American College of Radiology (ACR). She gave many lectures on quality in mammography and breast MRI in Italy.

During the pandemic outbreak she started giving lectures online, in Italian and in English, through a YouTube dedicated channel. She collaborated with Mammography Educators by Louise Miller R.T. (R) (M) (ARRT). She worked in Federazione delle Associazioni Scientifiche dei Tecnici di radiologia (FASTER), Scientific Associations of Radiographers Federation, from 2018 to March 2023, as member of the Scientific Committee for Senology. During that period she participated in some of the European Federation of Radiographers Societies (EFRS) projects. She is currently teaching Senology at the University of Florence, also as a thesis advisor. She was part of the team in the project "Mammographer in A3... x3", South East Tuscany area, leader Stefania Bracciali, Dr. Radiographer, winner of the first prize Lean Healthcare Award, November 2022.
