Memphis BioImaging Symposium

描述(由申请者提供)：孟菲斯生物成像研讨会(Membis)是一个教育和研究会议，重点关注生物成像主要领域的技术开发和临床应用，以独特的一天形式组织。今年的会议将于11月2日星期五在田纳西州孟菲斯的福格尔曼执行会议中心举行，前一天晚上将举行招待会和海报发布会。 各自学科的杰出专家将发表一小时的CT、MRI、核医学、超声波和分子成像的综述，外加三个专题讲座。这次会议为研究人员提供了一个难得的机会，让他们超越自己模式的局限，进入其他成像领域。每年还会挑选几位演讲者来强调一个相关的特别主题，从而使会议变得新鲜起来。在过去的几年里，这些主题包括图像引导治疗、小动物成像、女性成像，今年将专注于成像信息学。其他发言者也被要求在各自的情态发言中强调这一重点领域。鼓励所有参与者提交描述当前研究的科学海报，赞助商将展示与生物成像相关的产品和技术。 今年新的一年将是11月1日星期四下午在门比斯专题讨论会开始之前举行的免费的会前科学审查。来自地区生物医学/生物成像项目的四名特邀教师将展示他们具体研究的最新成果，排名前四的学生海报作者也将有机会口头介绍他们的工作。 与会者将包括研究生和专业学生、生物医学科学家和工程师、医学研究人员、以形象为导向的医生、生物技术专业人员和商业代表。 Membis的目标是： 1.教育研究生、博士后研究员和住院医生了解生物成像的最新趋势以及未来研究和临床应用的方向； 2.为生物成像学者提供机会，展示他们的研究和教育活动，并寻找合作机会； 3.为基础和临床研究环境中的生物成像专业人员提供在生物成像领域进行互动和广泛更新的机会； 4.促进生物成像作为生物医学研究和发展的一个重要组成部分，并帮助吸引新的学生和研究人员进入这个迅速扩大的领域； 5.促进基础和临床研究人员在生物成像领域的合作。 Membis由田纳西大学健康科学中心、圣裘德儿童研究医院和孟菲斯生物工程基金会联合主办。该研讨会由圣犹大儿童研究医院批准，最多可提供8.5小时的1类继续医学教育学分。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Memphis BioImaging Symposium (MemBIS) is an educational and research conference focused on technology developments and clinical applications of the major fields of bioimaging structured in a unique oneday format. This year's meeting will be held Friday, November 2, at the Fogelman Executive Conference Center in Memphis, TN, with a reception and poster session the previous evening. Distinguished experts in their respective disciplines will present one-hour reviews of CT, MRI, Nuclear Medicine, Ultrasound and Molecular Imaging plus three special topic lectures. The conference offers an uncommon opportunity for researchers to reach beyond the confines of their own modalities into other areas of imaging. The conference is also made fresh each year by selecting a couple of speakers to emphasize a relevant special topic. In past years the topics have included image guided therapy, small animal imaging, women's imaging and this year will focus on imaging informatics. The other speakers are also asked to highlight this focus area in their individual modality talks. All participants are encouraged to submit scientific posters describing current research, and sponsors will exhibit products and technology relevant to bioimaging. New this year will be a free pre-conference scientific review to be held the afternoon of Thursday, November 1, immediately preceding the start of the MemBIS symposium. Four invited faculty from regional biomedical/bioimaging programs will present the latest in their specific research and the top four student poster authors will also be given an opportunity to give an oral presentation of their work. Attendees will include graduate and professional students, biomedical scientists and engineers, medical researchers, image-oriented physicians, biotechnology professionals, and business representatives. The goals of MemBIS are: 1. Educate graduate students, postdoctoral fellows and residents on the latest trends in bioimaging and on the future directions of research and clinical applications; 2. Provide an opportunity for bioimaging academics to showcase their research and educational activities and to find collaborative opportunities; 3. Provide an opportunity for bioimaging professionals in both basic and clinical research environments to interact and to be broadly updated on the field of bioimaging; 4. Promote bioimaging as an essential component of biomedical research and development and help attract new students and researchers into this rapidly-expanding field; 5. Foster collaborations among basic and clinical researchers in the field of bioimaging. MemBIS is co-hosted by The University of Tennessee Health Science Center, St. Jude Children's Research Hospital and Memphis BioWorks Foundation. The symposium is approved by St. Jude Children's Research Hospital for a maximum of 8.5 hours of Category 1 CME credit.
