Jürgen Hennig is the Scientific Director of the Department of  Diagnostic Radiology and Chairman of the Magnetic Resonance Development and  Application Center (MRDAC) at the University Medical Center Freiburg. He is one  of the pioneers of Magnetic Resonance Imaging for clinical diagnostics. In the  year 2003 he was awarded the Max Planck Research Award in the category of  Biosciences and Medicine.Hennig was the President of the International Society  for Magnetic Resonance in Medicine (ISMRM). Since 2008 he has been a joint  affiliate to the Wisconsin Institute for Medical Research at the University of  Wisconsin–Madison. Since 2011 he has been a member of the German Academy of  Sciences Leopoldina.

Prof.  Hennig developed the  RARE Sequence (Rapid Acquisition with Relaxation Enhancement), which could  significantly reduced MR acquisition time, constituted an important step for its  use in clinical routine. In addition, RARE offered the possibility to control  the diagnostically relevant T2 contrast in MRI. RARE is currently one of the  standard methods used in clinical MRI. Many of his research build the foundation  of modern high field clinical MRI.

In the year 1985 Prof. Hennig helped to set up one of the first MRI  systems in China. He has been president and founding member of the  European-Chinese Society for Clinical Magnetic Resonance since 1993. He is  honorary member of the Chinese Radiological Society. Hennig was awarded  “Einstein Professor” of the Chinese Academy of Science in  2011.
