DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Medical Imaging Informatics is the branch of imaging science that studies image/data information gathering, processing, manipulation, storage, transmission, management, distribution, and visualization as well as knowledge discovery from large-scale biomedical image/datasets. Recent advances in medical imaging science and technology have made knowledge of imaging informatics an essential tool in the synthesis and management of medical images for patient care. Although there exist training programs in medical imaging and medical informatics, focused training dedicated to imaging informatics is limited because of its novelty. This application proposes the development of a Medical Imaging Informatics Training Program leveraging the strengths of three existing academic structures at the University of Southern California (USC) with modifications to suit the needs and requirements of each trainee. The three programs are: Biomedical Engineering Department (BME), School of Engineering; Radiology Department and the Joint MD/PhD program, located at the School of Medicine. By integrating the various assets from these programs a powerful novel training program will be created. Unique strengths within these programs are: 1. Medical imaging and imaging informatics expertise and training facilities within the BME, the Radiology Residency Program, and the Imaging Processing and Informatics Laboratory. 2. Academic program administrative hierarchy: USC Outreach Program, established recruitment procedure of trainees, existing medical imaging and imaging informatics course curriculum and elective clinical rotations; and a large pool of potential candidates within the three academic programs. The trainees will benefit from the unique blending of two differing traditional educational cultures and methods at the Engineering and Medical Schools, and as a group derives optimal career development, adjusted for each individual, through the mixed and rich environments. The Application requests for five years with 4, 6, 6, 6, 6 trainees per year, respectively, equally divided for PhD degree candidates, and Postdoctoral Fellowships. The Biomedical Engineering Dept. will grant the PhD degrees, while Fellowship Certificates will be granted by the Radiology Department.

描述(由申请人提供)： 医学影像信息学是影像科学的一个分支，研究图像/数据信息 收集、处理、操作、存储、传输、管理、分发和 可视化以及从大规模生物医学图像/数据集中发现知识。近期 医学影像科学和技术的进步使影像信息学的知识成为 用于病人护理的合成和管理医学图像的基本工具。尽管存在着 医学成像和医学信息学的培训计划，专注于成像方面的培训 信息学是有限的，因为它的新颖性。本申请建议开发医学影像信息学培训计划，利用南加州大学(USC)现有的三个学术结构的优势，并进行修改，以适应每个受训者的需求和要求。这三个项目是：生物医学工程系(BME)，工程学院；放射科和设在医学院的医学/博士联合项目。通过整合来自这些计划的各种资产，将创建一个强大的新型培训计划。这些计划的独特优势在于： 1.BME内的医学成像和成像信息学专门知识和培训设施 放射学实习计划，以及成像处理和信息学实验室。 2.学术计划管理层级：南加州大学外展计划，建立 受训人员招募程序、现有医学影像及影像信息学课程 课程和选修的临床轮换；以及 三个学术项目。 学员将受益于两种不同的传统教育文化和 方法在工程和医学院，作为一个群体获得最佳的职业发展， 通过混合和丰富的环境，针对每个人进行调整。应用程序请求 五年，每年分别有4，6，6，6，6名实习生，博士学位候选人平均分配， 和博士后奖学金。生物医学工程系。将授予博士学位，而 院士证书将由放射科颁发。
