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的综合癌症中心合作，提出了一项创新癌症成像技术的培训计划。该计划的基本目标是培养放射学方面的独立研究人员，他们将把科学努力集中在肿瘤学研究上。为期两年的培训将为S医学博士和医学博士S准备放射学和相关课程，以便在学术成像研究职业生涯中使用解剖学和功能技术来解决恶性病变的检测、诊断、分期、治疗监测和进展方面的问题。除了MR、超声波、CT、光学断层扫描、PET、SPECT和小动物成像(PET、SPECT、MRI和CT)的理论和应用方面的培训外，学员还将接触到广泛的成像研究，从线圈和部件设计、新技术的开发到使用这些成像方式的实验室研究、转化研究和临床试验。研究培训将包括四类经验：(1)必修核心课程；(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)出席科学会议和专题讨论会。教职教师拥有活跃的、有资金的实验室，并在成像和肿瘤学研究方面拥有广泛的经验基础。咨询委员会将向方案主任提供行政指导，评估方案进展，并为未来的方案努力提出方向。研究谘询委员会由上述所有训练范畴的讲师组成，他们会定期开会，审核申请和评估现时学员的研究进展。主要的研究培训机构是放射科，除了广泛的磁共振设施外，它还拥有代谢磁共振、核医学、医学信息学、用于断层图像重建的医学图像处理方面的活跃研究小组，以及一个开发光学成像技术的中心。此外，癌症中心、放射肿瘤学、生物化学和生物物理系以及宾夕法尼亚大学医院的研究和临床设施将供学员使用。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的临床研究人员和致力于使用成像技术在学术肿瘤学研究方面卓越的研究科学家的人数。
