MEDICAL IMAGE PERCEPTION CONFERENCE IX

诊断成像在诊断医学中起着核心作用。由专业读者从图像数据中提取信息是这一过程中的重要步骤。虽然这些读者的表现是一个了不起的自然现象，但它仍然远远不够理想。诊断信息提取过程的理解和优化是医学图像感知协会（MIPS）的中心焦点，医学图像感知会议是该协会的主要论坛。（该会议以前被称为“远西”图像感知会议，因为它最初在犹他州和亚利桑那州举行。）它汇集了放射科医生，心理学家，统计学家，物理学家，工程师和其他专注于从人类和机器图像中提取诊断信息的人。主题包括图像搜索过程、性能的定量评估和数学建模以及人机界面的优化。定量评估方法包括多变量统计方法，其考虑了患者、读取器和其它实验变量的方差和相关性。虽然主要的焦点是病人、读者和其他实验变量的相关性。尽管主要关注传统和数字X线摄影、乳腺X线摄影和螺旋CT，但现在有一个明显的趋势，即应用于所有成像模式。第九届医学图像感知会议计划于2001年9月20日至23日在航空公司会议中心举行，这是一个位于华盛顿特区西部郊区的乡村会议中心，距离杜尔斯国际机场约40分钟。我们预计将有60-100人参加，包括来自NCI、ACT和FDA的参与者，所有这些机构的总部都在该地区。这笔拨款将用于为约12名研究生和住院医生提供经济支持，以及为电影院提供后勤支持-视觉设备，宣传和印刷。

Diagnostic imaging plays a central role in diagnostic medicine. The extraction of information from image data by expert readers is an essential step in this process. While the performance of these readers is a marvelous phenomenon of nature, it remains far from ideal. The understanding and optimization of the diagnostic-information-extraction process is a central focus of the Medical Image Perception Society (MIPS), and the Medical Image Perception Conference is the Society's principle forum. ( The conference was formerly called the " Far West" Image Perception Conference because it was originally held in Utah and Arizona.) It brings together radiologists, psychologists, statistician, physicists, engineers, and others whose focus is the extraction of diagnostic information from images by humans and machines. Topics include the process of searching images, quantitative evaluation and mathematical modeling of performance, and optimization of the human- machine interface. quantitative evaluation methods include multi variate statistical approaches that account for variances and correlations of patient, reader, and other experimental variable. Although a major focus has correlations of patient, reader, and other experimental variable. Although a major focus has been on conventional and digital radiography, mammography, and spiral CT, there is now a clear trend toward applications to all imaging modalities. Medical Image Perception Conference IX is planned for 20-23 September 2001 at the Airline Conference Center, a country-side conference retreat in the western environs of Washington DC, about 40 minutes from Dulls International airport. We anticipate 60-100 attends, including participants from the NCI, ACT, and FDA, all of which have headquarters in the region. This grant will be used to provide financial support for about 12 graduate students and residents, and the logistic support of adios-visual equipment, publicity and printing.
