Predoctoral Training in Biomedical Imaging at Stanford University

 描述(由申请人提供)：这是斯坦福大学生物医学成像技术多学科博士前培训项目的竞争性续签申请。我们的使命是培养下一代生物医学成像技术的研究人员和发明者。成像技术继续以快速的步伐发展，产生的新技术将成为未来强大的研究工具和临床护理的标准。这一领域非常需要训练有素的研究人员来填补学术界、工业界和政府的职位。斯坦福大学在生物医学成像方面拥有独特的多学科研究成果，在磁共振、计算机断层扫描和放射成像、超声波、PET、光学和混合成像(如X射线/MR和PET/MR)以及诊断、放射治疗和基础科学的图像处理和分析方面拥有独特的创新记录。 该培训计划将吸引和资助来自5个不同学位授予项目的学生，与来自9个不同系的教师一起进行生物医学成像技术培训。主要的需求是为学生最初几年的培训提供资金。每年将招收四名新学生；每人资助两年时间相当长的博士项目。

 DESCRIPTION (Provided by Applicant): This is a competing renewal application for a multidisciplinary pre-doctoral training program at Stanford University in biomedical imaging technologies. Our mission is to train the next generation of researchers in and inventors of biomedical imaging technology. Imaging technology continues to evolve at a rapid pace generating new techniques that will become the powerful research tools and the standard of clinical care for tomorrow. There is a high need for trained researchers in this field to fill positions in academia, industry, and government. Stanford University has a unique multidisciplinary research effort in biomedical imaging and a track record of innovation spanning magnetic resonance, computed tomography and radiography, ultrasound, PET, optical, and hybrid imaging such as X-ray/MR and PET/MR, as well as image processing and analysis for diagnosis, radiation therapy, and basic science. The training program will draw and fund students from 5 different degree granting programs to train in biomedical imaging technology with faculty from 9 different departments. The main need is funding for the early years of a student's training. Four new students will be recruited each year; each funded for two years of their considerably longer PhD programs.
