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）： 医学影像信息学是研究图像/数据信息的影像科学的一个分支 收集、处理、操纵、存储、传输、管理、分发和 可视化以及大规模生物医学图像/数据集的知识发现。最近的 医学影像科学技术的进步使影像信息学知识成为一种 合成和管理患者护理医学图像的重要工具。虽然存在 医学影像和医学信息学方面的培训计划，专门针对影像的集中培训 信息学因其新颖性而受到限制。该申请建议利用南加州大学 (USC) 三个现有学术结构的优势开发医学成像信息学培训计划，并进行修改以满足每个学员的需求和要求。这三个专业分别是：工程学院生物医学工程系（BME）；放射科和联合医学博士/博士项目位于医学院。通过整合这些计划中的各种资产，将创建一个强大的新颖培训计划。这些计划的独特优势是： 1. BME 内的医学成像和成像信息学专业知识和培训设施， 放射科住院医师计划以及影像处理和信息学实验室。 2. 学术项目管理层级：南加州大学外展项目，建立 实习生招募程序、现有医学影像和影像信息学课程 课程和选修临床轮转；以及大量潜在候选人 三个学术课程。 学员将受益于两种不同传统教育文化的独特融合和 工程学院和医学院的方法，并作为一个团队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。该申请要求 五年，每年分别招收 4、6、6、6、6 名学员，博士研究生均分， 和博士后奖学金。生物医学工程系授予博士学位， 研究员证书将由放射科颁发。
