NIBIB New Horizons Lecture: Emerging MRI to Uncover the "Disordered Mind": Are We in an Era of "Psycho-Radiology"?23rd ISMRM Annual Meeting (May 30-June 5, 2015, Toronto,Ontario, Canada).
“Dr. Qiyong Gong is Professor of Radiology at the West China Hospital of Sichuan University, CHINA, and Visiting Professor at the Yale School of Medicine, Yale University. Qiyongis recognized for seminal contributions to translational imaging characterization of mental illnesses using MRI, and he is pioneering the psychoradiology, the new branch of radiology for psychiatry.”
*Note: Psychoradiologyis a term that describes a growing intersection between the fields of psychiatry and medical imaging. In clinical practice, this term indicates the use of radiologic approaches in psychiatric illnesses, spanning from diagnosis to planning and monitoring treatment. Analogous to the Psychosurgery of surgery for mental disorders, it is an emerging branch of radiology in close association with the neuroradiology for neurology.
As a matter of fact, following the development of clinically oriented psychiatric imaging, there is emerging a new branch of Radiology, which we and others have termed “Psychoradiology”, which is a promising subfield for clinical Radiology focusing on psychiatric disorders (this term is analogous to psychosurgery (surgery for psychiatric disorders), and neuroradiology (radiology for neurological disorders).
