Abstract
From 20 to 22 July 2024, the International Society for Magnetic Resonance in Medicine (ISMRM)-endorsed workshop on Magnetic Resonance (MR) for Psychiatry was held in Chengdu City, China. This prestigious event attracted numerous academic elites worldwide. Vincent Dousset is a professor of medicine and radiology at the University of Bordeaux, France, and the chairman of Medical Imaging at the University Hospital of Bordeaux. The hospital is running a completely new project dedicated to applying MRI technology in the field of psychiatry, and Professor Dousset will manage the project. However, this is an entirely new domain for the radiologists and technicians in the hospital. Therefore, Professor Dousset attended the ISMRM-endorsed Workshop on MR for Psychiatry in Chengdu to gain insight into the latest advancements in psychoradiology and hoped to apply valuable experience to their project. Following the conference, the Psychoradiology journal interviewed Professor Dousset. In the interview, Professor Dousset was enthusiastic about merging radiology and psychiatry teams and regarded the term "psychoradiology" as a bridge to unite these fields. Despite the challenges of distinguishing normal from abnormal brains in psychiatric disorders, he was optimistic about the future of psychoradiology and its clinical applications. He recognized the significance and prospects of the term "psychoradiology", and offered valuable suggestions for the development of the Psychoradiology journal.
