Medical Image Perception Society XV Conference

描述（由申请人提供）：医学图像感知会议XV汇集了国际社会的专家和学生，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不断发展的研究界的其他人。会议的主要优势和意义在于其出席人数的持续增长，其研讨会设置，以及其传统的新学生和主要研究人员聚集在一起，讨论通过人类和机器阅读器从医学图像中提取诊断信息的问题。MIPS XV由FDA的Brandon Gallas博士和Kyle Myers博士、George Washington大学的Murray Loew博士和NIH的Ronald Summers医学博士共同组织，主办机构是医学图像感知学会（MIPS）。它将于2013年8月14日至16日在位于华盛顿特区乔治华盛顿大学校园的马文中心圆形剧场举行。选定了九个主题领域，每个领域都反映了医学图像解释过程的一个重要维度，这与数字阅读环境特别相关：(1)

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.
