Imaging modality of neurological diseases are quickly innovated, that is not only imaging diagnosis but also therapeutic sonology. This symposium is organized to introduce such modern innovative technologies from three internationally sparkling speakers. The first is a very new MRI-based cerebral blood flow measurement (dual ASL), the second the most modernized MRI diagnosis, and the third MR-guided focusing ultrasound (MRgFUS) for essential tremor or even for Parkinson's disease in the future.

I was born at 17 April 1958. I graduated from Nara Medical University in 1983 and graduate school in 1989. I studied abroad under Professor Hariz of Umeå University, Sweden in 1996. After graduating in 1983, I joined the medical office of Nara Medical University Neurosurgery. I became an assistant professor at Nara Medical University in 1997 and an associate professor in 2009. I moved to NHO Nara Medical center as vice director in 2010 and became director in 2018.
I awarded Prize of Suzuki Jiro in Japanese society on Surgery for Cerebral Stroke in 1996 and Doctor of Philosophy in medicine from UMEÅ University (Sweden) in 2012.
I hold “The 57th annual meeting for the Japan Society for stereotactic and functional neurosurgery in 2018” and “The 32nd annual meeting of Japan Neuromudulation Society in 2018”
