The main objectives of the Medical Informatics (MedIX) Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) Site program are to engage undergraduate students in challenging research projects, encourage them to pursue graduate education, and expose students to interdisciplinary research, especially at the border of information technology and medicine. The MedIX REU Site runs for three summers, with ten student participants doing research ten weeks each summer under the supervision of five mentors dedicated to undergraduate research. The REU Site is hosted by two interdisciplinary laboratories: the Medical Informatics Laboratory at DePaul University and the Imaging Research Institute at the University of Chicago. The research environment offers the students the opportunity to interact with computer scientists, medical physicists, and medical doctors.All of the projects are inspired by state-of-the-art research questions in imaging informatics. Students work as part of faculty-undergraduate teams on new problems ranging from traditional image processing (e.g., computer-aided diagnosis, breast density assessment, cancer detection) to structured reporting and natural language processing of radiology reports, to workflow and process re-engineering to the application of data mining and ontology-based means for image annotation and markup (e.g., lung nodule detection and interpretation). Ultimately, this REU site will help support students interested in imaging informatics, broaden participation in computer science. In addition, each project has the long-term potential to increase the quality of healthcare available to people everywhere. More information on the program can be found at the MedIX REU Site web site (http://facweb.cs.depaul.edu/research/vc/medix).

医学信息学（MedIX）本科生研究经验（REU）站点计划的主要目标是让本科生参与具有挑战性的研究项目，鼓励他们继续研究生教育，并让学生接触跨学科研究，特别是在信息技术和医学的边界。MedIX REU网站运行三个夏天，每年夏天有十名学生在五名专门从事本科生研究的导师的监督下进行十周的研究。REU网站由两个跨学科实验室主持：德保罗大学的医学信息学实验室和芝加哥大学的成像研究所。研究环境为学生提供了与计算机科学家、医学物理学家和医生互动的机会。所有的项目都受到影像信息学领域最先进的研究问题的启发。学生作为学院-本科生团队的一部分，研究新的问题，从传统的图像处理（例如，计算机辅助诊断，乳房密度评估，癌症检测）到结构化报告和放射学报告的自然语言处理，到工作流和流程再造，再到数据挖掘和基于本体的图像注释和标记方法的应用（例如，肺结节检测和解释）。最终，这个REU网站将帮助支持对成像信息学感兴趣的学生，扩大对计算机科学的参与。此外，每个项目都具有长期潜力，可以提高各地人民可获得的医疗保健质量。有关该计划的更多信息可在MedIX REU网站（http://facweb.cs.depaul.edu/research/vc/medix）找到。
