Multi-system Imaging Spectrum associated with Neurologic Diseases

Dr. Gao Bo Gao, MD, PhD is Professor and Vice Chair in the Department of Radiology at the Affiliated Hospital of Guizhou Medical University, in China. His three major areas of research interest are 1) radiomics, radiogenomics and AI in cancer imaging; 2) functional MRI, diffusion tensor imaging and permeability imaging in tumor theranostics; and 3) posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome and associated entities. Dr. Gao has edited Classic Imaging Signs (2021) and Imaging of CNS Infections and Neuroimmunology (2019) both with Springer and has published over 2 dozen journal articles. Dr. Lerner is an Associate Professor of Clinical Radiology, Program Director of USC/LAC+USC Neuroradiology Fellowship and Director of Clinical Functional MRI in the Department of Radiology at Keck School of Medicine of the University of Southern California in USA. Dr. Lerner’s research interests include advanced MR imaging using functional MRI, DTI, MR perfusion, and permeability imaging of the brain and spinal cord. He specializes in the diagnosis of disorders causing headaches, neurovascular compression disorders, CSF flow disorders, epilepsy, inflammatory, and degenerative disorders of the CNS. Dr. Lerner has been an invited speaker at multiple radiology societies at regional and national levels. He has also authored and coauthored multiple publications and book chapters.
