项目摘要

This Planning Visit proposal will provide travel support for Dr. Yossi Chait, from the University of Massachusetts, to advance recent, online research collaboration with Dr. Antonio Traino, director of the Medical Physics Section in the Health Physics Unit at the University Hospital, Pisa, Italy. Dr. Traino is a leading international researcher in the area of radiation therapy for Graves' disease with emphasis on optimal computation of radioactive iodine dose, and is arguably the most published researcher in this field during the past decade. Dr. Chait?s research has focused on feedback control problems and more recently on formal analysis of thyroid's iodine metabolism dynamics through mathematical modeling. Dr. Traino's group has been collecting data on the dynamics of activity and mass reduction in many patients treated at their hospital. This data, not available elsewhere worldwide, offers the UMass research team a near ideal data base for identification of key mechanisms and structure in a patient-specific thyroid model. The objective of this visit is to overcome the inherent differences between our respective disciplines (engineering and medical physics) facilitating face-to-face meetings. This is expected to advance our level of collaboration, both professional and personally, to a point where in the near future we can explore numerous funding sources in Europe and in the USA for this line of work.

该计划访问提案将为来自马萨诸塞州大学的Yossi Chait博士提供差旅支持，以推进与意大利比萨大学医院健康物理部医学物理科主任Antonio Traino博士最近的在线研究合作。 Traino博士是Graves病放射治疗领域的国际领先研究人员，重点是放射性碘剂量的最佳计算，可以说是过去十年来该领域发表论文最多的研究人员。查特医生的研究集中在反馈控制问题，最近通过数学建模对甲状腺碘代谢动力学进行了形式化分析。 Traino博士的研究小组一直在收集在他们医院接受治疗的许多患者的活动和质量减少的动态数据。这些数据在世界其他地方不可用，为马萨诸塞大学研究小组提供了一个近乎理想的数据库，用于识别患者特异性甲状腺模型中的关键机制和结构。这次访问的目的是克服我们各自学科（工程和医学物理）之间的固有差异，促进面对面的会议。预计这将提高我们的合作水平，无论是专业还是个人，在不久的将来，我们可以在欧洲和美国探索许多资金来源。
