Seminar: Technologies for Life-Future Perspectives for Magnetic Resonance Imaging

Prof. Dr. Dr. h.c. Jürgen Hennig (Scientific Director of the Department of Diagnostic Radiology, Chairman of the Magnetic Resonance Development and Application Center - University Medical Center Freiburg, Germany) / BRAIN LINKS BRAIN TOOLS (BLBT) Cluster of Excellence) will gave a talk, Wednesday 3rd of July at 11:15 in the 3 amphitheater of the Strasbourg faculty of dental surgery in Strasbourg.

Title: Technologies for Life: Future Perspectives for MRI

Bio: Prof. Jürgen Hennig is one of the pioneers of Magnetic Resonance Imaging. His contribution has been crucial to the development of this modality for diagnostic imaging. Under his leadership, the Freiburg MR research group has implemented new ideas and concepts for the use of MRI in a broad spectrum of applications. The measurement procedures they developed have since been implemented in all MRI devices worldwide, and are used for all MRI patient examinations. His lecture will cover the pre-clinical and clinical development and application field.
Prof. Hennig is former president of the International Society for Magnetic Resonance in Medicine and Biology (ISMRM).

His awards include:

• Gold Medal of ISMRM and European Society of MRI,
• Hounsfield Medal (Imperial College London),
• Max Planck Research Award in the category of Biosciences and Medicine,
• “Einstein Professor” of the Chinese Academy of Science,
• Alfred-Breit-Preis of German Radiology Society
• Schinz Medal from the "Swiss Society of Radiology" - Winner of Advanced ERC grant: Ultrafast Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) for applications in neuroscience, neurology and oncology.
