Academy of Molecular Imaging 2006 Annual Meeting

描述（由申请人提供）：本申请的目的是为放射学/核医学的研究生，博士后和住院医师/临床研究员提供教育机会。分子成像学会（AMI）年会为来自学术机构、医院、政府、独立医疗团体、制药公司、设备制造商和其他服务提供商的医生、科学家和学生提供了一个独特的场所，从基础科学和临床实践的角度分享分子成像各个领域的最新研究和进展。受邀演讲者包括分子成像领域的思想领袖，与会者有机会向他们选择的领域的专家学习，并与他们亲自会面。年会以四个AMI理事会的平行轨道为特色——分子成像研究所、基础科学和仪器发展理事会；药物开发中的非侵入性成像学会，分子治疗委员会；临床PET研究所，临床理事会；和分子技术研究所，工业委员会-包括所有涉及成像的科学学科-肿瘤学，神经学，物理学，计算机科学，心脏病学，分子生物学，遗传学，生物化学，核医学，放射学和兽医学。今年，我们再次荣幸地邀请到受人尊敬的主题演讲嘉宾，包括美国临床肿瘤学会（ASCO）主席、斯坦福大学医学院肿瘤学教授Sandra Horning博士；加州大学洛杉矶分校大卫·格芬医学院医学教授查尔斯·索耶斯博士；FDA医学成像和放射性药物产品部的George Mills博士和加州大学洛杉矶分校David Geffen医学院的Alan Fogelman博士。会议的亮点总是AMI杰出科学家获奖者的两篇演讲。今年我们有幸邀请到麻省总医院分子成像研究中心的Ralph Weissleder博士和加州大学洛杉矶分校David Geffen医学院分子和医学药理学教授Heinrich Schelbert博士。会议期间将讨论的主题包括“乳腺癌和妇科肿瘤的分子成像”、“心脏干细胞成像”、“成像在糖尿病和代谢综合征中的作用”和“神经成像在脑肿瘤评估中的作用”。这些讲座，由如此杰出的教师授课，应该对年轻的研究人员和医生有很大的好处，因为他们提供了一个难得的机会，可以在这样一个亲密的环境中从这些专家那里第一手学习。年度会议将于2006年3月25日至29日在佛罗里达州奥兰多的盖洛德棕榈度假酒店和会议中心举行。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The objective of this application is to provide an educational opportunity for graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and residents/clinical fellows in Radiology/ Nuclear Medicine. The annual meeting of the Academy of Molecular Imaging (AMI) is a unique venue for physicians, scientists and students from academic institutions, hospitals, government, independent medical groups, pharmaceutical companies, device manufacturers and other service providers to share the latest research and advances in all areas of molecular imaging from the perspective of basic science as well as clinical practice. Invited speakers include the thought leaders in molecular imaging, and attendees have the opportunity to learn from, and to meet personally with, these experts in their chosen field. The annual meeting features parallel tracks specific to the four AMI Councils - the Institute for Molecular Imaging, the basic science and instrumentation development council; Society of Non-Invasive Imaging in Drug Development, the molecular therapeutics council; Institute for Clinical PET, the clinical council; and the Institute for Molecular Technologies, the industry council - and includes all disciplines of science involved in imaging - oncology, neurology, physics, computer sciences, cardiology, molecular biology, genetics, biochemistry, nuclear medicine, radiology, and veterinary medicine. This year, we are once again honored to have respected keynote speakers, including Dr. Sandra Horning, President, American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) and Professor of Medicine- Oncology, Stanford University School of Medicine; Dr. Charles Sawyers, Professor of Medicine, David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA; Dr. George Mills, Division of Medical Imaging and Radiopharmaceutical Drug Products, FDA, and Dr. Alan Fogelman, David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA. A conference highlight is always the two presentations given by the AMI Distinguished Scientist awardees. This year we are fortunate to have Dr. Ralph Weissleder, Center for Molecular Imaging Research, Massachusetts General Hospital and Dr. Heinrich Schelbert, Professor, Molecular and Medical Pharmacology, David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA. Examples of the topics that will be discussed during the conference include "Molecular Imaging for Breast Cancer and Gynecological Tumors," "Imaging Cardiac Stem Cells," "Role of Imaging in Diabetes and the Metabolic Syndrome," and "Neuroimaging in Evaluation of Brain Tumors." These lectures, given by such illustrious faculty, should be of great benefit to young researchers and physicians, as they provide a rare opportunity to learn firsthand from these experts in such an intimate setting. The annual conference is being held March 25-29, 2006 at the Gaylord Palms Resort Hotel and Convention Center in Orlando, Florida.
