DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Department of Radiology, in conjunction with the comprehensive Cancer Center at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, proposes a Training Program in Innovative Cancer Imaging Technologies. The fundamental goal of the program is to develop independent investigators in Radiology who will focus their scientific efforts in oncology research. The 2-year training will prepare M.D.'s and M.D.-Ph.D.'s in radiology and related programs for academic imaging research careers using anatomic and functional technologies to address issues in the detection, diagnosis, staging, monitoring of treatment, and progression of malignant lesions. In addition to training in the theory and applications of MR, ultrasound, CT, optical tomography, PET, SPECT, and small animal imaging (PET, SPECT, MRI, and CT), the trainees will be exposed to a broad spectrum of imaging research from coil and component design and the development of new technologies to laboratory studies, translational research, and clinical trials utilizing these imaging modalities. Research training will include 4 categories of experiences: (1) required core curriculum; (2) preceptor-directed oncology imaging research; (3) laboratory and clinical research-structured interactive seminars; (4) attendance at scientific meetings and symposia. Faculty preceptors have active, funded laboratories and a broad base of experience in imaging and oncology research. The Advisory Committee will provide administrative guidance to the program director, evaluate program progress, and suggest directions for future programmatic efforts. The Research Advisory Committee consists of faculty preceptors from all of the above training areas which will meet regularly to review applications and to assess the current trainees' research progress. The primary research training facility is the Department of Radiology which, in addition to extensive MR facilities, has active research groups in metabolic MR, nuclear medicine, medical informatics, medical image processing for tomographic image reconstruction, and a center for the developing technology of optical imaging. In addition, the research and clinical facilities of the Cancer Center, the departments of Radiation Oncology and Biochemistry and Biophysics, and the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania will be used by trainees. The extensive research resources in the Department of Radiology and the Cancer Center will ensure high-quality research training in a scientifically sound and cost-effective manner. This will enable the Department of Radiology to increase the number of young clinical investigators and research scientists committed to excellence in academic oncology research using imaging technology.

描述（由申请人提供）：放射科与宾夕法尼亚大学医学院综合癌症中心合作，提出了创新癌症成像技术的培训计划。 该计划的基本目标是培养独立的放射学研究人员，他们将专注于肿瘤学研究的科学工作。 为期两年的培训将准备医学博士。和医学博士博士在放射学和相关计划的学术成像研究事业使用解剖和功能技术，以解决问题的检测，诊断，分期，监测治疗和进展的恶性病变。 除了MR、超声、CT、光学断层扫描、PET、SPECT和小动物成像（PET、SPECT、MRI和CT）的理论和应用培训外，学员还将接触到广泛的成像研究，从线圈和组件设计以及新技术的开发到实验室研究、转化研究和利用这些成像模式的临床试验。 研究培训将包括4类经验：（1）必需的核心课程;（2）导师指导的肿瘤学成像研究;（3）实验室和临床研究结构的互动研讨会;（4）参加科学会议和研讨会。 教师导师拥有活跃的，资助的实验室和成像和肿瘤学研究的广泛经验基础。 咨询委员会将为项目主任提供行政指导，评估项目进展，并为未来的项目工作提出方向。 研究咨询委员会由来自上述所有培训领域的导师组成，他们将定期举行会议，审查申请，并评估目前学员的研究进展。 主要的研究培训设施是放射科，除了广泛的MR设施外，还拥有代谢MR，核医学，医学信息学，断层图像重建的医学图像处理和光学成像技术开发中心的活跃研究小组。 此外，癌症中心、放射肿瘤学系、生物化学和生物物理学系以及宾夕法尼亚大学医院的研究和临床设施也将供受训人员使用。 放射科和癌症中心的广泛研究资源将确保以科学合理和具有成本效益的方式提供高质量的研究培训。 这将使放射科能够增加年轻临床研究人员和研究科学家的数量，致力于使用成像技术进行卓越的学术肿瘤学研究。
