ISBI 2009

描述(由申请者提供)：国际生物医学成像研讨会：从纳米到宏观(ISBI)是一个论坛，供对生物医学成像的计算和建模方面特别感兴趣的研究人员参加。重点强调有可能适用于多种成像方式和不同尺度成像的方法。主题包括生物和解剖结构的物理、生物和统计建模、图像形成和重建、计算图像分析、统计图像分析、可视化和图像质量评估。会议旨在促进不同成像模式和规模之间的方法学交流，应用范围从纳米、分子和细胞水平到小动物成像到宏观和全身临床系统。虽然许多医学成像会议关注的是特定的模式，但ISBI包括了应用于生物和解剖成像模式的各种方法，无论是新兴的还是成熟的。人们感兴趣的成像应用包括基因表达图谱、药物发现和传递、分子成像、脑功能图谱、计算神经解剖学、心血管成像和癌症成像。ISBI会议的一个主要目标是将方法学与重要的医学和生物医学应用联系起来，从微观到宏观。ISBI 2009将于6月29日至7月1日举行，这将是由两个IEEE学会共同主办的一系列会议的第六次：信号处理学会(SPS)和医学与生物工程学会(EMBS)。ISBI第一次会议于2002年7月举行，随后的会议分别于2004年4月、2006年、2007年和2008年5月举行。前几届ISBI会议的成功对ISBI的未来是个好兆头。ISBI的成功及其对该领域的影响，实际上是该领域本身的未来，取决于培训年轻的研究人员使用最先进的复杂计算或建模工具，以及向研究人员通报医学成像方案和模式的最新进展。此外，生物医学成像领域固有的跨学科性质意味着没有一个单一的专业组织拥有大多数潜在参与者作为其成员。在这方面，在会议第一天提供的系列教程是一个重要组成部分，涵盖了非常不同的主题，在以前的ISBI会议上非常受欢迎。这项提案要求提供资金，为在美国的学生和博士后研究员提供参加辅导的通行证。我们还将通过提供旅行津贴来鼓励新的研究人员(博士后研究员和早期初级教员)提交贡献的论文。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The International Symposium on Biomedical Imaging: from Nano to Macro (ISBI) is a forum for researchers particularly interested in the computational and modeling aspects of biomedical imaging. The focus emphasizes methodologies that have the potential to be applicable to multiple imaging modalities and to imaging at different scales. Topics include physical, biological and statistical modeling of biological and anatomical structures, image formation and reconstruction, computational image analysis, statistical image analysis, visualization, and image quality assessment. The meeting aims to facilitate cross-fertilization of methodologies between different imaging modalities and scales, with applications ranging from the nano, molecular and cellular levels through small-animal imaging to macroscopic and whole body clinical systems. Whereas many medical imaging meetings focus on particular modalities, ISBI includes a diversity of methodologies applied to biological and anatomical imaging modalities, either emerging or well established. Imaging applications of interest include gene expression mapping, drug discovery and delivery, molecular imaging, functional brain mapping, computational neuroanatomy, cardiovascular imaging and cancer imaging. A principal goal of the ISBI conference is to connect methodologies with important medical and biomedical applications, from microscopic to macroscopic scales. ISBI 2009, to be held June 29th-July 1st, will be the sixth in a series of meetings cosponsored by two IEEE societies: the Signal Processing Society (SPS) and the Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society (EMBS). The inaugural ISBI meeting was held in July 2002 and subsequent ones in April 2004, 2006 and 2007 and May 2008. The success of the previous ISBI meetings bodes well for the future of ISBI. The success of ISBI and its impact on the field, and indeed the future of the field itself, relies on training young investigators to work with state-of-the-art sophisticated computational or modeling tools and on informing the researcher community of the latest progress in medical imaging protocols and modalities. In addition, the inherently interdisciplinary nature of the biomedical imaging field means that no single professional organization has the majority of potential participants as its members. In this context, the tutorials series, covering very diverse topics and offered on the first day of the conference, is an important component, which has been very popular in previous ISBI meetings. This proposal requests funds to provide passes for US-based students and post-doctoral fellows to attend the tutorials. We will also encourage participation by new investigators (postdoctoral fellows and early junior faculty) by providing travel stipends to present contributed papers.
