DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Medical Imaging Informatics is the branch of imaging science that studies image/data information gathering, processing, manipulation, storage, transmission, management, distribution, and visualization as well as knowledge discovery from large-scale biomedical image/datasets. Recent advances in medical imaging science and technology have made knowledge of imaging informatics an essential tool in the synthesis and management of medical images for patient care. Although there exist training programs in medical imaging and medical informatics, focused training dedicated to imaging informatics is limited because of its novelty. This application proposes the development of a Medical Imaging Informatics Training Program leveraging the strengths of three existing academic structures at the University of Southern California (USC) with modifications to suit the needs and requirements of each trainee. The three programs are: Biomedical Engineering Department (BME), School of Engineering; Radiology Department and the Joint MD/PhD program, located at the School of Medicine. By integrating the various assets from these programs a powerful novel training program will be created. Unique strengths within these programs are: 1. Medical imaging and imaging informatics expertise and training facilities within the BME, the Radiology Residency Program, and the Imaging Processing and Informatics Laboratory. 2. Academic program administrative hierarchy: USC Outreach Program, established recruitment procedure of trainees, existing medical imaging and imaging informatics course curriculum and elective clinical rotations; and a large pool of potential candidates within the three academic programs. The trainees will benefit from the unique blending of two differing traditional educational cultures and methods at the Engineering and Medical Schools, and as a group derives optimal career development, adjusted for each individual, through the mixed and rich environments. The Application requests for five years with 4, 6, 6, 6, 6 trainees per year, respectively, equally divided for PhD degree candidates, and Postdoctoral Fellowships. The Biomedical Engineering Dept. will grant the PhD degrees, while Fellowship Certificates will be granted by the Radiology Department.

描述（由申请人提供）： 医学影像信息学是研究图像/数据信息的影像科学的分支 收集、处理、操纵、存储、传输、管理、分配和 可视化以及大规模生物医学图像/数据集的知识发现。最近 医学成像科学和技术的进步使得成像信息学的知识 在病人护理的医学图像的合成和管理的基本工具。虽然存在 医学成像和医学信息学培训计划，专注于成像 信息学由于其新颖性而受到限制。本申请建议开发医学成像信息学培训计划，该计划利用南加州大学（USC）现有三种学术结构的优势，并进行修改以满足每位学员的需求和要求。这三个方案是：生物医学工程系（BME），工程学院;放射学系和联合MD/博士课程，位于医学院。通过整合这些项目的各种资产，将创建一个强大的新培训计划。这些方案的独特优势是： 1. BME内的医学成像和成像信息学专业知识和培训设施， 放射学住院医师计划，以及成像处理和信息学实验室。 2.学术计划行政层次：南加州大学外联计划，建立 学员招募程序，现有医学成像和成像信息学课程 课程和选修的临床轮换;和一个潜在的候选人在 三个学术项目。 学员将受益于两种不同传统教育文化的独特融合， 在工程和医学院的方法，并作为一个群体获得最佳的职业发展， 通过混合和丰富的环境，为每个人进行调整。申请书要求 五年，每年分别有4，6，6，6，6名学员，平均分配给博士学位候选人， 博士后奖学金。生物医学工程系将授予博士学位，而 研究员证书将由放射科颁发。
