 Li hongjun

    Today（November 15, 2021）, the 14th International Conference on AIDS Imaging as well as the 12th Academic Conference on Infection and Inflammation Imaging were held in Nanchang, Jiangxi Province. The conferences were held both online and offline and attended by bothinternational and domestic experts and scholars.

Before the conferences, journalists interviewed Professor Li Hongjun, the conferencechairman, the pioneer and founder of the international radiology of infectiousdisease, and the main initiator. Prof. Li Hongjun is the incumbent Director ofthe Department of Radiology of Beijing Youan Hospital affiliated with Capital Medical University, Deputy Director of the Department of Medical Imaging and Nuclear Medicine of Capital Medical University,Doctoral Supervisor,Postdoctoral Supervisor, Distinguished Professor and Chief Imaging Expert ofNational Clinical Medical Research Center for Infectious Diseases. He is anexpert granted State Council Special Allowance, as well as an Expert with Outstanding Contribution. Prof. Li is also one of the National Hundred, Thousand and TenThousand Health Talents in Beijing, the first batch of 215 high-level healthtalents in Beijing, and has been awarded the title of "Excellent CommunistParty Member in Beijing", “Famous Mentor to Apprentice","Good Doctor of the People", "Advanced Individual in FightingCOVID-19 Pandemic in Beijing", "Advanced Individual in FightingCOVID-19 Pandemic in China", and "Advanced Individual in FightingCOVID-19 Pandemic of Chinese Farmers and Workers Democratic Party". Heserves as the director of the Radiology Committee of the National HealthTechnology Promotion and Inheritance Application Program of the National HealthCommission, the director of the Infectious Disease Radiology Committee of theRadiology Branch of the Chinese Medical Association, the director of theInfection and Inflammation Radiology Branch of the Chinese Society of ResearchHospitals, and the director of the AIDS Radiology Specialty Committee of theChinese Association of AIDS STD Prevention and Control.

Following the discipline development philosophy of "international vision, patientneeds, systematic thinking and overall promotion" and the internationalacademic development idea of "standardization of medical technology,modernization of technical equipment, informationization of medical-industrialcombination and specialization of technical team", Prof. Li Hongjun isleading his team to develop a systematic theoretical system and technicalresearch on infectious disease imaging and pathogenesis and pathology incollaboration with renowned medical imaging experts in China. He has initiatedthe systematic theoretical system and technical research on infectious diseaseimaging, pathogenesis and pathological mechanism. He has created an innovativetheoretical system of global AIDS imaging, infectious disease imaging,infection and inflammation radiology, infection and inflammation-related tumorradiology, and a modern medical imaging information system with teachingmaterials, norms, guidelines, standards and discipline system as its core. Hehas built the first international innovative and integrated discipline ofmodern infectious disease imaging informatics and is regarded as the pioneerand founder of infectious disease imaging. He has promoted the development of infectious disease prevention andcontrol diagnosis and treatment technology domestically and internationally (publicationand distribution promotion of National Health Commission Innovation and InheritanceProject, Springer, PMPH series).

In theinterview, Li Hongjun said that China's efforts to fight the pandemic havecontributed to and set an excellent example for the global fight against theoutbreak. In the battle against the COVID-19 pandemic, Chinese people upholdthe noble concept of people first and life first and determinedly fights thevirus. The current situation of prevention and control of the COVID-19 pandemicis still challenging, with some provinces and cities experiencing recurringoutbreaks, which once again sounded the alarm that the work of pandemicprevention and control is a long-term and arduous task and mission. As a leaderin infection and infectious disease imaging, he felt his responsibility andcommitment to be the first to organize forces and contribute to the fightagainst the pandemic. He pointed out that the main topic of this conference isthe 14th International Conference on AIDS Imaging and the 12th AcademicConference on Infection and Inflammation Imaging, with a special session onInfection and Inflammation Imaging of the COVID-19 pandemic, focusing onsharing experts’ clinical experience and scientific research achievements inthe prevention and control of the coronavirus pandemic.

Prof.Li Hongjun said that over the past 23 years, the "Infectious DiseaseRadiology" team has developed from scratch, from weak to strong, fromdomestic to international, and has now become an academic group withinternational influence. The team has made significant achievements in the theoreticalsystem research of AIDS imaging, infectious disease imaging, infection andinflammation imaging, infection and inflammation-related tumors, and even theformulation of guidelines and standards. During this period, he has receivedvigorous support and attention from key scientific and technological R&Dprojects of the Ministry of Science and Technology of China, internationalgovernmental cooperation projects as well as major R&D, key projects andgeneral projects of the National Natural Science Foundation of China. The teamhas created an innovative discipline of radiology of infectious diseases inChina, which has attracted the attention of international authoritativeacademic institutions such as NIH, RSNA, Harvard and world-famous Springer,Elsevier and other academic institutions and publishing platforms, and hascarried out comprehensive cooperation and published a large number ofscientific papers and monographs (17 published by Springer), ranked in the top50 in terms of attention and influence in the international medical field. Togetherwith Elsevier, the team formed the Journal of Radiology of infectious Diseases,the only international English-language journal of infection and infectiousdisease imaging in the world, and was accepted by the Radiological Society ofNorth America (RSNA) as a member of the global radiology English-languagejournal.As a result of such efforts,the big data and sample bank of infectious disease imaging was certified by theU.S. quality certification system and the national big data sample qualitycertification. The leaders of China's National Health Care Commission highlyvalued the above academic achievements. After expert review and approval, the InfectiousDisease Radiology Professional Committee of National Health TechnologyInheritance Program was established to promote the development and clinicalapplication of the discipline.

   Looking ahead,Professor Li Hongjun is full of confidence, he said he would pay more attentionto medical-industrial integration and multidisciplinary integration in thefuture to achieve the goal of precision medicine based on imaging and big data,multi-source histology, AI in infectious disease research and development and targetedapplications, focusing on the multidisciplinary integration of cutting-edgetechnologies in imaging histology and imaging genomics. He emphasized thatanother important task in the future is to continue to promote the developmentof technical specifications and standards that are internationally advanced andthe spread and promotion of academic ideas and theoretical systems inaccordance with clinical needs, to expand international academic influencefurther, to become the best Chinese professionals in infectious imaging, and tocontribute to the realization of the "human community with a shared future"proposed by President Xi Jinping.
