Training in Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging

描述（由申请人提供）： 我们的实验室，磁共振系统研究实验室（MRSRL）在电气工程系，在医学成像研究和大量的博士前学生的医学成像培训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（MR）领域培养博士前学生的计划。磁共振成像已经取得了巨大的成功，在成像身体的许多地区。它现在准备通过非侵入性成像在心脏病诊断方面产生重大影响。这一领域，其许多挑战，提供了一个理想的工具，在医学影像博士前学生的研究培训。在MRSRL工作，这些学生将受益于成像设备和技术及临床人员的独特资源。因此，我们建议通过培训三名博士前学生在心脏磁共振成像来加强我们的计划。根据我们过去的经验，我们强烈认为这不仅将提供一个良好的培训基地，而且将为心脏MR领域做出重大贡献。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Our laboratory, the Magnetic Resonance Systems Research Laboratory (MRSRL) in the Electrical Engineering Department, has had a long and successful history in 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 predoctoral students in the area of cardiac magnetic resonance (MR). MR has already achieved great success in imaging many regions of the body. It is now poised to make a significant impact in the diagnosis of heart disease through non-invasive imaging. This field, with its many challenges, provides an ideal vehicle for the research training of predoctoral students in medical imaging. Working in the MRSRL, these students will have the benefit of unique resources in imaging equipment and both technical and clinical personnel. We therefore proposed to enhance our program through the training of three predoctoral students in MR imaging of the heart. Based on our past experiences, we strongly feel that this will not only provide an excellent training base but also make significant contributions to the field of cardiac MR.
