DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Postgraduate Program in Radiological Science provides recent doctoral graduates in physics, chemistry, engineering, and mathematics with additional training and experience in the field of radiological science. Physicians and scientists from other disciplines, who have well-developed, appropriate career goals may also apply. The rationale for this program is based on several factors: 1) the growing need for basic scientists with training in functional and multi-modality imaging; 2) the availability of high quality research programs that can provide exciting opportunities for research fellows; 3) the availability of modern well-equipped facilities; 4) the availability of an unusually strong group of preceptors and, in addition, a faculty who provide additional expertise and extend the range of contacts available to fellows in the program; 5) the existence of long-standing, diverse collaborations, both within the MGH and with investigators at Harvard Medical School, Harvard University, and other HMS-affiliated hospitals; and 6) the availability of the resources of the Department of Radiology and those of the academic and medical community of the greater Boston area. The program is designed to provide a two-year training experience and includes courses, tutorials and participation in research seminars and laboratory meetings, in addition to active participation in research projects. Individual training programs are created for each fellow based on his/her interest and abilities, the availability of suitable preceptors and research funding. Training is conducted in the environment of a major medical center whose physical setting, intellectual resources and research activities provide an exciting milieu for scientists in training. Research opportunities currently exist in the areas of positron emission tomography (PET), molecular imaging, and cardiac imaging combining PET and other modalities, e.g. MRI, and/or CT.

描述（由申请人提供）：放射科学研究生课程为物理，化学，工程和数学领域的博士毕业生提供放射科学领域的额外培训和经验。 来自其他学科的医生和科学家，谁拥有良好的发展，适当的职业目标也可以申请。该计划的基本原理基于以下几个因素：1）对接受功能和多模态成像培训的基础科学家的需求日益增长; 2）高质量研究计划的可用性，可以为研究人员提供令人兴奋的机会; 3）现代化设备齐全的设施的可用性; 4）拥有一支异常强大的导师队伍，此外还有一批教师，他们可以提供额外的专业知识并扩大该项目研究员的联系范围; 5）MGH内部以及与哈佛医学院、哈佛大学和其他HMS附属医院的研究人员之间存在长期、多样化的合作; 6）放射科资源以及大波士顿地区学术和医学界资源的可用性。 该计划旨在提供为期两年的培训经验，包括课程，辅导和参与研究研讨会和实验室会议，以及积极参与研究项目。根据每个研究员的兴趣和能力，合适的导师和研究资金的可用性，为他/她创建个人培训计划。培训是在一个主要的医疗中心的环境中进行的，其物理环境，智力资源和研究活动为科学家提供了一个令人兴奋的环境。研究机会目前存在于正电子发射断层扫描（PET），分子成像和心脏成像结合PET和其他模式，如MRI和/或CT的领域。
