IEEE Medical Imaging Conference

 描述(由申请人提供)：2016年IEEE医学成像会议与核科学研讨会联合举行，为研究生和博士后实习生提供资金支持。这次年度国际会议是致力于基于放射性示踪剂的医学成像方法，特别是正电子发射断层扫描(PET)和单光子发射计算机断层扫描(SPECT)的最大和最重要的会议。其他感兴趣的主题包括其他断层成像模式的发展，如新的CT技术和多模式成像，如PET/CT和PET/MR，重点是用于图像重建和图像量化的探测器、成像系统和算法。在2014年于西雅图举行的最近一次会议上，医学影像会议提交了500多篇论文，总出席人数为1920年，约有一半的与会者表示，他们最感兴趣的是医学成像会议。这笔赠款将为20名研究生和博士后实习生每人提供500美元，用于会议注册和住宿。

 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Funding is requested to support graduate student and postdoctoral trainees at the 2016 IEEE Medical Imaging Conference, which is held jointly with the Nuclear Science Symposium. This annual international conference is the largest and most important meeting dedicated to radiotracer based medical imaging methods, particularly positron emission tomography (PET) and single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT). Additional topics of interest include development of other tomographic modalities such as novel CT techniques and multimodality imaging such as PET/CT and PET/MR. The emphasis is on detectors, imaging systems and algorithms for image reconstruction and image quantitation. At the most recent meeting in 2014 in Seattle, over 500 papers were presented within the Medical Image Conference and total attendance was 1920 with about half of the attendees declaring the Medical Imaging Conference to be their primary interest. This grant will provide twenty graduate students and postdoctoral trainees with $500 each towards conference registration and accommodations.
