Training in Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging

描述（申请人提供）：电气工程系与医学院的研究人员合作，在医学成像合作研究和大量博士预科生的医学成像培训方面有着悠久而成功的历史。在这个更新申请中，我们寻求继续我们的计划，在心脏磁共振成像（MRI）领域培养电气工程博士预科学生。MRI在身体的许多区域成像方面取得了巨大的成功，并有望在心脏成像方面产生重大影响。尽管面临诸多挑战，但该领域为医学成像博士生的研究培训提供了一个出色的载体。在这个培训项目中，博士生将有大量的机会接触到成像设备，并接触到技术和临床人员。我们建议通过培训三名心脏MRI博士生来加强我们的项目。根据我们对博士生培养的记录，我们强烈认为这个项目不仅会提供一个良好的基础，而且会对心脏MRI领域做出重大贡献。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Department of Electrical Engineering, working with researchers in the School of Medicine, has had a long and successful history in collaborative 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 electrical engineering predoctoral students in the area of cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). MRI has achieved great success in imaging many regions of the body and is poised to make a significant impact in cardiac imaging. With its many challenges, this field provides an outstanding vehicle for research training of predoctoral students in medical imaging. Predoctoral students in this training program will have abundant access to imaging equipment, and to both technical and clinical personnel. We propose to enhance our program through the training of three predoctoral students in cardiac MRI. Based on our track record of predoctoral student training, we strongly feel that this program will not only provide an excellent base but also lead to significant contributions to the field of cardiac MRI.
