Medical Image Perception Society XV Conference

描述(由申请者提供)：医学图像感知会议第十五届汇聚了国际专家和学生社区，他们都在研究从医学图像中提取诊断信息。这包括放射科医生、放射技师和其他基于图像的临床医生、心理学家、统计学家、物理学家、工程师、计算机科学家和这个日益增长的研究社区中的其他人。会议的主要优势和意义在于其出席人数的持续增长、研讨会的安排，以及传统上新学生和关键研究人员的聚会，他们讨论的问题是由人和机器的读者从医学图像中提取诊断信息。MIPS XV由FDA的Brandon Galas博士和Kyle Myers博士、乔治华盛顿大学的Murray Loew博士和NIH的Ronald Summers博士联合举办，主办组织是医学图像感知协会(MIPS)。它将于2013年8月14日至16日在华盛顿特区乔治·华盛顿大学校园内的马文中心圆形剧场举行。选定了九个主题领域，每个主题领域都反映了医学图像解释过程的一个重要方面，与数字阅读环境特别相关：(1) 异常的检测和辨别，(2)认知、心理物理学和行为，(3)知觉错误，(4)搜索模式，(5)人类和理想观察者模型，(6)基于计算机的感知(CAD和CADx)，(7)显示和人体工学因素对图像感知和表现的影响，(8)图像处理对图像感知和表现的作用，以及(9)评估方法、指标和相关统计。我们还计划在时间和范围上扩大传统的MIPS研讨会议程，以解决与FDA成像设备评估相关的问题。FDA会议的组织者希望吸引来自行业和FDA工作人员的调查人员，以丰富这一部分的议程和整个会议。摘要门户网站将于2012年秋季在MIPS网站上开放。这项提议的目标是获得资金，支持10名学生参加MIPS XV并展示他们的研究：自1997年以来，MIPS得到了NIH的支持，为感兴趣的学生提供参加会议、展示他们的工作并与该领域公认的领导者互动的机会。到目前为止， 已有83名学生获得了参加会议的奖学金。支持这些学生的主要目标是在受训人员职业生涯的这个形成阶段创造机会并提供支持性指导，以提高他们的研究潜力和成功的可能性。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Medical Image Perception Conference XV brings together an international community of experts and students alike investigating the extraction of diagnostic information from medical images. This includes radiologists, radiographers and other image-based clinicians, psychologists, statisticians, physicists, engineers, computer scientists and others in this growing research community. The main strengths and significance of the meeting are its continued growth in attendance, its workshop setting, and its traditional gathering of new students and key researchers on the problem of extracting diagnostic information from medical images by human and machine readers. MIPS XV is being organized jointly by Brandon Gallas, PhD and Kyle Myers, PhD of the FDA, Murray Loew, PhD of George Washington University, and Ronald Summers, MD, PhD of the NIH and the host organization is the Medical Image Perception Society (MIPS). It will be held August 14 -16, 2013 at the Marvin Center Amphitheater located on the George Washington University campus in Washington, DC. Nine topic areas have been selected, each reflecting an important dimension of the medical image interpretation process, that are especially relevant for the digital reading environment: (1) Detection & discrimination of abnormalities, (2) Cognition, psychophysics, and behavior, (3) Perception errors, (4) Search patterns, (5) Human & ideal observer models, (6) Computer-based perception (CAD & CADx), (7) Impact of display & ergonomic factors on image perception & performance, (8) Role of image processing on image perception & performance and (9) Assessment methodologies, metrics, and related statistics. We also plan to augment in time and scope the traditional MIPS workshop agenda to address issues related to the evaluation of imaging devices at the FDA. The FDA conference organizers expect to attract investigators from industry and FDA staff to enrich this part of the agenda and the conference in general. The abstract portal will open on the MIPS web site fall 2012. The goal of this proposal is to acquire funding to support 10 students to attend and present their research at MIPS XV: Since 1997, MIPS has received NIH support to provide an opportunity for interested students to attend the meeting, present their work, and interact with recognized leaders in the field. To date, 83 students have been awarded scholarships to attend the meeting. The primary goal in supporting these students is to create opportunities and offer supportive mentoring at this formative stage in the trainee's career to enhance their research potential and likelihood of success.
