Jonathan H. Chung, MD, is an expert cardiothoracic radiologist, specializing in the interpretation of chest radiographs and CT examinations, with particular expertise in interstitial lung disease and pulmonary fibrosis, occupational lung disease, nontuberculous mycobacterial pulmonary disease, and disorders of the large and small airways.
In addition to his clinical practice, Dr. Chung is an active researcher. His work focuses on expanding the role of imaging in the diagnosis, characterization and management of chronic lung disease. His work particularly emphasizes interstitial lung disease and pulmonary fibrosis, including the imaging manifestations of usual interstitial pneumonia, early and preclinical interstitial lung abnormalities, occupational lung disease and nontuberculous mycobacterial infection. Increasingly, his research explores the use of artificial intelligence, quantitative imaging and imaging biomarkers to identify disease earlier, improve diagnostic accuracy and translate imaging findings into clinically meaningful information. He has authored more than 215 peer-reviewed publications and 7 books devoted to thoracic imaging and diagnosis.
As Vice Chair of Quality and Clinical Innovation, Dr. Chung leads efforts to improve the delivery of radiologic care through the integration of technology, artificial intelligence and quality improvement. His work focuses on enhancing patient safety and diagnostic accuracy, optimizing radiologist workflows and productivity, reducing unnecessary imaging and developing practical approaches that make advanced imaging and decision-support tools easier to incorporate into clinical practice.
A dedicated educator and mentor, Dr. Chung teaches medical students, residents, fellows and practicing physicians and has mentored numerous trainees and junior faculty. His contributions to education have been recognized with several honors, including the Radiological Society of North America Honored Educator Award and the University of Chicago Marc Tetalman Award for Excellence in Teaching.

UChicago Medicine is committed to fostering a corporate culture of ethical behavior and integrity in all matters related to compliance with the laws and regulations that govern the delivery of healthcare. This aspiration is central to supporting patient care, research, and teaching at UChicago Medicine.
Some of our physicians and health professionals collaborate with external pharmaceutical, medical device, or other medical related entities to develop new treatments and products to improve clinical outcomes for patients. In some instances, the physician has ownership interests in the external entity and/or is compensated for advising or speaking about the entity’s products or treatments. These payments may include compensation for consulting and speaking engagements, equity, and/or royalties for products invented by our physicians. To assure objectivity and integrity in patient care, UChicago Medicine requires all physicians and health professionals to report their relationships and financial interests with external entities on an annual basis. This information is used to review relationships and transactions that might give rise to potential financial conflicts of interest, and when considered to be significant a management plan to mitigate any biases is created.
If you are a patient at UChicago Medicine and would like more information about your physician’s external relationships, please talk with your physician. You may also visit the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) Open Payments website at https://openpaymentsdata.cms.gov/ . CMS Open Payments is a national disclosure program that promotes a more transparent and accountable health care system. It houses a publicly accessible database of payments that reporting entities, including drug and medical device companies, make to covered recipients like physicians and hospitals.

All information is open to personal interpretation, if there are questions about the data, patients and their advocates should speak directly to their health care provider for a better understanding.
