Training in Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging

描述(由申请人提供)： 我们的实验室是电气工程系的磁共振系统研究实验室(MRSRL)，在医学成像研究和培养大量博士前学生方面有着悠久而成功的历史。在这次续签申请中，我们寻求继续我们的项目，培训心脏磁共振(MR)领域的博士前学生。MR已经在对身体的许多区域进行成像方面取得了巨大的成功。它现在已经准备好通过非侵入性成像在心脏病的诊断方面产生重大影响。这一领域具有许多挑战，为医学成像博士前学生的研究培训提供了理想的工具。在MRSRL工作，这些学生将受益于独特的成像设备资源以及技术和临床人员。因此，我们建议通过培训三名博士前学生进行心脏磁共振成像来加强我们的计划。根据我们过去的经验，我们强烈地认为，这不仅将提供一个良好的培训基地，而且将为心脏MR领域做出重大贡献。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Our laboratory, the Magnetic Resonance Systems Research Laboratory (MRSRL) in the Electrical Engineering Department, has had a long and successful history in medical imaging research and in medical imaging training of a large number of predoctoral students. In this renewal application, we seek to continue our program in training predoctoral students in the area of cardiac magnetic resonance (MR). MR has already achieved great success in imaging many regions of the body. It is now poised to make a significant impact in the diagnosis of heart disease through non-invasive imaging. This field, with its many challenges, provides an ideal vehicle for the research training of predoctoral students in medical imaging. Working in the MRSRL, these students will have the benefit of unique resources in imaging equipment and both technical and clinical personnel. We therefore proposed to enhance our program through the training of three predoctoral students in MR imaging of the heart. Based on our past experiences, we strongly feel that this will not only provide an excellent training base but also make significant contributions to the field of cardiac MR.
