Yoshiharu Ohno, MD, PhD, is Full Professor of Radiology and Chief of the Joint Research Laboratory of Advanced Medical Imaging at Fujita Health University School of Medicine in Japan. He graduated in Medicine at Kobe University Medical School and in 1993 undertook a Radiology residency at Kobe University Hospital.  Between 1994 and 1998, he studied Radiology as a postdoctoral course student at Kobe University Graduate School of Medicine. Subsequently, he was appointed first Assistant Professor (2000-4) and then Associate Professor (2004-12) for chest radiology, as well as Chief of the Division of Functional and Diagnostic Imaging Research, at Kobe University Graduate School of Medicine.  During April 2012 and March 2019, he was appointed full Professor and Chief of the Division of Functional and Diagnostic Imaging Research and General Manager of the Advanced Biomedical Imaging Research Center at Kobe University Graduate School of Medicine.  On April 1st 2019, he move from Kobe University Graduate School of Medicine to Fujita Health University and took up his current position. Dr. Ohno has studied chest MRI, especially in lung cancer, and pulmonary functional MRI in routine clinical practice.  He is a member of the Fleischner Society and was board chair of the International Workshop of Pulmonary Functional Imaging from 2015 to 2017. 


Hiroto Hatabu, MD, PhD FACR, is Professor of Radiology at Harvard Medical School as well as Medical Director of the Center for Pulmonary Functional Imaging at Brigham and Women's Hospital. He studied Medicine at Kyoto University, graduating in 1983, and was awarded his PhD in 1994. He completed a Diagnostic Radiology Residency at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania in 1995, and is board certified in both Japan and the United States. His fields of research include MR assessment of pulmonary circulation and perfusion, MRI of lung parenchyma, oxygen-enhanced MRI, radiation
