NEUROIMAGING IN MEDICAL REHABILITATION RESEARCH

功能影像学在医学康复中的重要作用 研究在国家中心的研究计划中得到认可， 医学康复研究（NCMRR）。 多学科的优点 研究活动在目标和研究机会中很明显 研究计划的一部分，但到目前为止，功能性神经成像 研究和医疗康复研究通常随着 不同的活动。 这两个学科需要更好地理解 功能性神经成像的能力与重要的 医学康复研究中尚未解决的问题，以促进 研究成果的临床应用。 科学研讨会将在 为此目的举行的会议， 神经成像和康复之间的多学科活动 研究人员 为期三天的科学研讨会将在 鲍曼格雷医学院，1993年5月23日至25日，在温斯顿-塞勒姆， 北卡罗来纳州。 这次会议将由一个组织委员会策划 由公认的科学和技术领导人组成， 功能性神经影像学，基础和临床神经科学， 医学康复研究。 研讨会的科学计划旨在关注 功能性神经影像学对医学优先领域的影响 NCMRR研究计划中描述的康复研究。 的 程序格式包括正式的介绍和结构化的讨论 会议期间，约有50名功能性神经成像专家， 医疗康复研究将解决四个重要的作用， 功能性神经影像学有望在医学领域 康复研究。 这些领域是： 了解与特定残疾有关的脑功能指数， 无论是什么原因;定位脑、脊髓和/或 与残疾有关的周围神经系统;监测 导致残疾的病变和残疾的时间变化 本身;以及，测量手术的结果和有效性， 药物和医疗康复干预。 讲习班出版的会议记录将提供给 功能成像、医疗康复研究和 基础神经科学

The important roles of functional imaging in medical rehabilitation research are recognized in the Research Plan of the National Center for Medical Rehabilitation Research (NCMRR). The merits of multidisciplinary research activities is apparent in the Goals and Research Opportunities section of the Research Plan, but until now functional neuroimaging research and medical rehabilitation research typically have progressed as disparate activities. The two disciplines need a better understanding of the capabilities of functional neuroimaging as related to the important unsolved problems in medical rehabilitation research to facilitate clinical applications of research results. A scientific workshop will be held for this purpose and also to engender collaborative multidisciplinary activities between neuroimagers and rehabilitation researchers. A three day scientific workshop will be held under the auspices of the Bowman Gray School of Medicine on May 23-25, 1993, in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. The meeting will be planned by an organizing committee comprised of persons recognized as leaders in the science and techniques of functional neuroimaging, the basic and clinical neurosciences, and medical rehabilitation research. The scientific program for the workshop is designed to focus on the impact of functional neuroimaging on the priority areas in medical rehabilitation research described in the NCMRR Research Plan. The program format includes formal presentations and structured discussion sessions wherein approximately 50 experts in functional neuroimaging and medical rehabilitation research will address four of the vital roles functional neuroimaging is expected to have in medical rehabilitation-research. These are: generating basic scientific knowledge of brain function indices related to specific disabilities, whatever the cause; locating the foci in the brain, spinal cord and/or the peripheral nervous system related to the disability; monitoring the changes over time of the lesions causing disability and of the disability itself; and, measuring the outcomes and effectiveness of surgical, pharmacological and medical rehabilitation interventions. The published proceedings of the workshop will be made available to investigators in functional imaging, medical rehabilitation research and basic neuroscience.
