Janet Husband, Royal Marsden Hospital, London, UK
Formerly Professor of Diagnostic Radiology, University of London Institute of Cancer Research and Consultant Radiologist at The Royal Marsden NHS Foundation Trust. She was President of the Royal College of Radiologists 2004-2007, and Past President of the British Institute of Radiology, 2003-2004. Dame Janet was Vice-President of the Academy of Medical Royal Colleges and an elected member of the General Medical Council. During 30 years of service at The Royal Marsden Dame Janet led pioneering clinical research both in CT and MRI in cancer care. In the Queen's Birthday Honours 2007, was appointed Dame Commander of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire for services to medicine.

Rodney Reznek, Saint Bartholomew’s Hospital, London, UK
Joined Barts and the London School of Medicine in 1977 as a registrar and, in 1996, was appointed as Professor of Diagnostic Imaging. His work focuses on the use of magnetic resonance imaging and computer topography in the diagnosis, prognosis and treatment of cancer, particularly gynaecological, abdominal, and endocrine cancer. With Professor Janet Husband, he co-founded the International Cancer Imaging Society in 1998 and was its President from 2001-2002.
