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）：放射学系与宾夕法尼亚大学医学院综合癌症中心合作，提出创新癌症成像技术培训计划。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。为期两年的培训将为医学博士做准备博士和医学博士。利用解剖学和功能技术来解决恶性病变的检测、诊断、分期、治疗监测和进展等问题。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）的理论和应用方面的培训外，学员还将接触到广泛的成像研究，从线圈和组件的设计、新技术的开发到利用这些成像模式的实验室研究、转化研究和临床试验。研究培训将包括4类经验：(1)必修的核心课程；(2)以受体为导向的肿瘤影像学研究；(3)实验室和临床研究结构的互动研讨会；(4)参加科学会议和专题讨论会。教师导师有活跃的，资助的实验室和广泛的基础经验，在成像和肿瘤研究。咨询委员会将为项目主管提供行政指导，评估项目进展，并为未来的项目工作提出方向。研究谘询委员会由上述各训练范畴的导师组成，并会定期开会检讨申请及评估现时受训者的研究进展。主要的研究训练设施是放射科，除了广泛的核磁共振设施外，还有代谢核磁共振，核医学，医学信息学，断层成像重建的医学图像处理等活跃的研究小组，以及光学成像技术开发中心。此外，研修生还将使用癌症中心、放射肿瘤科、生物化学和生物物理科、宾夕法尼亚大学医院的研究和临床设施。放射科和癌症中心广泛的研究资源将确保以科学合理和具有成本效益的方式进行高质量的研究培训。这将使放射科能够增加年轻的临床研究者和研究科学家的数量，他们致力于使用成像技术进行卓越的肿瘤学学术研究。
