He is most notable for serving on the prestigious board of directors in the MICCAI society (2015-2024), where he is also the general chair for the MICCAI 2022 conference, which is the most influential AI-in-imaging conference. He has over 200 publications, acted as the editor for six Springer books, and serves as an associate editor for several prestigious journals in the field. Throughout his career, he has received several awards from GE, various institutes, and international organizations.

Abstract
Chemical contrast agent-enhanced imaging plays a critical role in clinical diagnostic imaging. Recently there has been an increasing concern regarding the chemical contrast agent used in the clinic. In this talk, Dr. Li will share his ground-breaking AI contrast-enhanced imaging, which develops state-of-the-art machine-learning techniques to eliminate the need for chemical contrast agents.
