Greetings!

I am Chang-Woo Ryu, Professor of Radiology and the 16th President of the Korean Society of Head and Neck Neuroradiology (KSNR) for the term 2025–2027. It is a great honor to assume this important role, and I would like to express my sincere gratitude to all past presidents, the executive committee, and our members for their dedicated service to the Society. I also feel the deep sense of responsibility that comes with this position.

Since its founding in 1983, the KSNR has achieved remarkable academic accomplishments in the field of neuroradiology, standing shoulder to shoulder with the world’s leading societies. Beyond the boundaries of radiology, our Society has played a pivotal role in advancing various disciplines, including neuroscience, neuro-oncology, and neurointerventional therapy.

Nevertheless, the future we face is becoming increasingly unpredictable due to rapidly changing societal circumstances—such as the physician-government conflicts that began last year—and the accelerating commercialization of artificial intelligence technologies. If we come together with wisdom and unity to strengthen our Society’s capacity and prepare for the future, I am confident that these challenges will become opportunities for us to take another great leap forward. Together with the Executive Committee, I promise to maintain open communication with our members, listen to your insights, and strive to promote both academic growth and the interests of our members.

Once again, I sincerely thank all of you for granting me this meaningful opportunity, and I wish every member good health and happiness.

Chang-Woo Ryu, MD, PhD
President, 16th Term
Korean Society of Neuroradiology
