Support Young Investigator Attendance at 2010 IEEE International Symposium on Biomedical Imaging in the Netherlands, April 14-17, 2010

1005327 Dhawan IEEE国际生物医学成像研讨会：从纳米到宏观（ISBI）是对生物医学成像的计算和建模方面特别感兴趣的研究人员的论坛。它强调的方法，有可能适用于多种成像方式和成像在不同的尺度。主题包括生物和解剖结构的物理，生物和统计建模，图像形成和重建，计算和统计图像分析，可视化和图像质量评估。会议旨在促进不同成像模式和尺度之间的方法学交叉，应用范围从纳米，分子和细胞水平，通过小动物成像到宏观和全身临床系统。尽管许多医学成像会议关注特定的模式，但ISBI包括适用于生物和解剖成像模式的多种方法，无论是新兴的还是成熟的。感兴趣的应用包括基因表达图谱、药物发现和递送、分子成像、功能性脑图谱、计算神经解剖学、心血管成像和癌症成像。ISBI的一个主要目标是将方法学与重要的生物医学应用（从微观到宏观尺度）联系起来。ISBI 2010将于2010年4月14日至17日在荷兰鹿特丹举行，这将是由两个IEEE学会（医学和生物学工程学会（EMBS）和信号处理学会（SPS））共同主办的一系列会议中的第七次会议。首届ISBI会议于2002年7月举行，随后于2004年4月、2006年、2007年、2008年5月和2009年6月至7月举行。ISBI前几次会议的成功预示着ISBI的未来。ISBI的成功及其对该领域的影响，甚至该领域本身的未来，都依赖于培训年轻的研究人员使用最先进的复杂计算或建模工具，并向研究人员群体通报医学成像的最新进展协议和模式。此外，生物医学成像领域固有的跨学科性质意味着没有一个专业组织拥有大多数潜在参与者作为其成员。在这方面，专题讨论会第一天提供的教程系列是一个重要的组成部分，涵盖了各种各样的主题，在以前的ISBI会议上非常受欢迎。该项目将资助美国年轻研究人员（学生，博士后研究员和初级教师）参加和出席研讨会。

1005327DhawanThe IEEE International Symposium on Biomedical Imaging: From Nano to Macro (ISBI) is a forum for researchers particularly interested in the computational and modeling aspects of biomedical imaging. It emphasizes methodologies that have the potential to be applicable to multiple imaging modalities and to imaging at different scales. Topics include physical, biological and statistical modeling of biological and anatomical structures, image formation and reconstruction, computational and statistical image analysis, visualization, and image quality assessment. The meeting aims to facilitate cross-fertilization of methodologies between different imaging modalities and scales, with applications ranging from the nano, molecular and cellular levels through small-animal imaging to macroscopic and whole-body clinical systems. Whereas many medical imaging meetings focus on particular modalities, ISBI includes a diversity of methodologies applied to biological and anatomical imaging modalities, either emerging or well established. Applications of interest include gene expression mapping, drug discovery and delivery, molecular imaging, functional brain mapping, computational neuroanatomy, cardiovascular imaging, and cancer imaging. A principal goal of ISBI is to connect methodologies with important biomedical applications, from microscopic to macroscopic scales. ISBI 2010, to be held April 14-17, 2010, in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, will be the seventh in a series of meetings cosponsored by two IEEE societies: the Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society (EMBS) and the Signal Processing Society (SPS). The inaugural ISBI meeting was held in July 2002, and subsequent ones in April 2004, 2006, 2007, May 2008, and June-July 2009. The success of the previous ISBI meetings bodes well for the future of ISBI. The success of ISBI and its impact on the field, and indeed the future of the field itself, relies on training young investigators to work with state-of-the-art sophisticated computational or modeling tools and on informing the researcher community of the latest progress in medical imaging protocols and modalities. In addition, the inherently interdisciplinary nature of the biomedical imaging field means that no single professional organization has the majority of potential participants as its members. In this context, the tutorials series, covering very diverse topics and offered on the first day of the symposium, is an important component, which has been very popular in previous ISBI meetings. This project will fund to support the participation and attendance at the symposium by US based young investigators (students, postdoctoral fellows, and junior faculty).
