| Session: Imaging for Complex Surgical Planning |
Dr Michael Wagels Dr Michael Wagels has a special interest in the translational aspects of tissue engineering for complex reconstructive defects and specifically, how these can be related to complex lower limb reconstruction, hand surgery, brachial plexus reconstruction and head and neck reconstructive surgery. He was part of the team of surgeons who recently successfully transplanted a 3D printed tibia into a patient - an impressive world first. |

Dr. Lloyd is a senior staff specialist in Diagnostic Radiology at Brisbane’s Princess Alexandra Hospital and Breastscreen Queensland. He serves as the Director of Registrar Training for the PAH hub within the Queensland training network. His principle areas of expertise are Breast imaging and Orthopaedic imaging with a particular interest in sarcoma. He also maintains an interest in body imaging. Dr. Lloyd is an examiner for the College of Radiology. Dr Lloyd’s current research projects focus on Breast Density, Carotid plaque characterization with MRI and Diffusion tractography in the context of peripheral nerve injury. He has been the recipient of grant funding for investigation of MRI and extracellular matrix studies of breast density, Carotid plaque vulnerability and uses of NMR mouse. |
Dr Thomas Friese In this role, Dr. Friese leads efforts to introduce novel digital and data based services into the portfolio of Siemens Healthineers. His work focuses on using state-ofthe-art software technology, particularly cloud computing and big data analytics, to enhance and strengthen the core competencies of Siemens Healthineers in medical imaging, diagnostics and therapy. Prior to his current role, Thomas Friese held a variety of technical and engineering leadership positions at Siemens Corporate Technology and Siemens Healthcare. Thomas Friese earned his PhD in computer science from the University of Marburg, Germany. |
| Session: The Coming of Age for Functional Imaging |

Professor Graeme Jackson is a clinical neurologist and clinical researcher, who is recognised as an expert and authority in new MR technologies, particularly in the field of animal and human studies of epilepsy. He is Deputy Director of the Florey Neuroscience Institutes and Director of the Brain Research Institute, Australia. Graeme is a Professorial Fellow of the Department of Medicine, Austin Health, University of Melbourne. Professor Jackson’s major research achievement is his impact on the understanding of epilepsy. He is a world leader on the use of imaging technologies in neurological disease, and has combined these interests to advance the understanding of epilepsy and to identify lesions that allow surgical cure of epilepsy. He was awarded the National Health and Medical Research Council Excellence Award. |

Dr Marcus Gray is a senior research fellow at the Translational Research Institute. An overall theme in his research is the integration of the mind with the ongoing regulation of the body. The mind is fundamentally embodied. An intimate integration of mind and body supports flexible and adaptive behaviour in a dynamic environment, via the interaction of cognitive, emotional and executive processing with the autonomic control of the body. Dr Gray’s research explores these associations in a wide range of contexts, spanning low level homeostatic mechanisms through to subtle interactions between attention, emotion and physiology. In particular, clinical and autonomic populations provide valuable areas for investigation using advanced techniques including magnetic resonance imaging. |
| Session: Cardiovascular Imaging |
|
Professor James Moon James is Professor of Cardiology, UCL, Clinical Director of Imaging, Barts Heart Centre, the largest cardiac centre in Europe where he leads the largest CMR department in the world and the UKs largest echo and cardiac CT services. Formerly president of British Society of CMR, his research interest is in better understanding heart muscle from rare to common diseases with new techniques; wider access for imaging. This includes faster cheaper easier imaging; MRI for pacemaker patients, the deployment of AI techniques for clinical delivery and linking imaging to therapy to improve patient care. He has 300 papers on Pubmed. Google citations 20,000, h-index 63. |

Professor Gemma Figtree Gemma Figtree is a Professor in Medicine at the University of Sydney and is an interventional cardiologist at Royal North Shore Hospital. She completed her DPhil at Oxford University in 2002 supported by a Rhodes Scholarship and has continued working in the field of oxidative signalling and translational cardiovascular research. She is committed to improving the care for patients with heart attack- developing methods of identifying those at highest risk of adverse outcome, and discovering novel therapies to prevent and treat events. Discoveries in her Laboratory have been published in leading journals Circulation, European Heart Journal, JACC and Circulation, with >100 publications in peer-review journals. |
Dr John Younger Dr Younger specialises in cardiac imaging, particularly cardiac CT and cardiac MRI, but also transthoracic, transoesophageal and stress echocardiography.
