Training in Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging

描述（由申请人提供）：电气工程系与医学院的研究人员合作，在协作医学成像研究和大量博士前学生的医学成像培训方面有着悠久而成功的历史。在这次更新申请中，我们寻求继续我们在心脏磁共振成像（MRI）领域培训电气工程博士前学生的计划。MRI在身体许多部位的成像方面取得了巨大成功，并有望在心脏成像方面产生重大影响。凭借其众多的挑战，这一领域提供了一个优秀的工具，在医学成像的博士前学生的研究培训。在这个培训计划的博士前学生将有充足的机会获得成像设备，以及技术和临床人员。我们建议通过培训三名心脏MRI的博士前学生来加强我们的计划。根据我们的博士前学生培训的跟踪记录，我们强烈认为，该计划不仅将提供一个很好的基础，但也导致心脏MRI领域的重大贡献。

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.
