Fourth International Workshop on Metabolic Imaging

描述（由申请人提供）：本申请要求资助参加第四届代谢成像国际研讨会的本科生、研究生、博士后研究员和初级教员的差旅费和住宿费。 这次为期三天的会议定于2014年7月30日至8月1日在宾夕法尼亚大学校园举行。 代谢成像是一个相对较新的领域，具有丰富的潜力，作为一种更精确的诊断，管理和治疗疾病的手段。 由于其高度跨学科的性质，直到最近，它的从业者和学生很难shae的发现。 为了解决这个问题，我们自2006年以来一直在举办关于代谢成像的国际研讨会。 基于我们收到的关于这些会议的积极响应，我们寻求进一步扩大2014年研讨会的跨学科性质，包括研究人员，临床医生和学生，他们使用几种不同的代谢成像模式，包括超极化MRI，PET和光学成像。 被认为是这些领域领导者的学者将提供一系列关于主题的特邀演讲，如最新的技术进步，新颖的成像方法和临床翻译。 更多的时间将分配给20名学生和博士后研究人员， 简短的谈话。 还将举行问答会议、小组讨论和海报会议。 研讨会的会议记录将通过一个免费、方便的 访问和交互式网络广播，在生物医学核磁共振的特刊，并创建一个文件，强调在代谢成像的最重要的问题，这将是在我们的网站上公布。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This application requests funding to cover the travel and lodging expenses of undergraduate students, graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and junior faculty members attending the Fourth International Workshop on Metabolic Imaging. This three-day conference is scheduled to take place from July 30 through August 1, 2014, on the campus of the University of Pennsylvania. Metabolic imaging is a relatively new field that possesses abundant potential as a means of more precisely diagnosing, managing, and treating disease. Because of its highly interdisciplinary nature, it has until recently been difficult for its practitioners and students to shae findings. To remedy this problem, we have since 2006 been hosting international workshops on metabolic imaging. Based on the positive response we received about these conferences, we seek to even further expand the interdisciplinary nature of the 2014 workshop by including researchers, clinicians, and students who use several different metabolic imaging modalities including hyperpolarized MRI, PET, and optical imaging. Scholars who are considered leaders in these fields will give a series of invited talks on toics such as recent technological advances, novel imaging methods, and clinical translation. Further time will be allotted for twenty students and postdoctoral researchers to give short talks. Question-and- answer sessions, panel discussions, and poster sessions will also occur. Workshop proceedings will be internationally disseminated via a free, easy to-access, and interactive webcast, a special issue in NMR in Biomedicine, and the creation of a document highlighting the foremost issues in metabolic imaging, which will be posted on our website.
