2016 Image Science Gordon Research Conference

 描述(由申请人提供)：该提案请求支持早期职业研究人员参加2016年戈登图像科学研究会议。与医学成像领域的其他会议相比，这次会议的独特之处在于，来自天文学、生物学、医学、遥感以及安全和国防行业等不同应用领域的知名演讲者聚集在一个论坛上，鼓励每个人描述他们面临的最大挑战和最有希望的解决方案。邀请所有演讲者是基于他们在各自领域的领导地位，以及他们愿意就每个人在医学和生物学中开发、评估和应用成像技术所共有的基本问题进行辩论。我们相信，在小型大学场馆的背景下，GRC模式促进了导致突破的创新跨学科思维类型。领先的资深科学家辩论核心问题的环境对于试图在工业界和学术界建立成功的独立医学成像职业生涯的年轻研究人员来说是有价值的。所有与会者都被邀请在海报会议上展示一张海报，描述他们的研究，海报会议是戈登会议形式的关键要素。2016年会议的主题是《图像科学的序列：从检测到决策》。演讲者以单轨形式进行40分钟的演讲，每次演讲后由该领域的专家领导进行20分钟的讨论。主题范围从物理极限的检测到基于图像信息集成的最优决策。每次演讲的中心都是对图像科学家共同面临的核心挑战的讨论，以及以最大限度提高决策绩效的方式获取和显示信息的新技术。这是有史以来第二次关于图像科学的GRC会议，建立在2014年首届会议的成功基础上，该会议源于2010年国家科学院Keck未来倡议(NAKFI)关于图像科学的会议。我们的目标是通过详细的跨学科讨论和培养新一代图像科学家的成功，将图像科学建设成为一个独立的研究领域。

 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The proposal requests support for early-career investigators to attend the 2016 Gordon Research Conference on Image Science. The unique feature of this conference compared with others in medical imaging is the bringing together of renown speakers from disparate application areas, including astronomy, biology, medicine, remote sensing, and security and defense industries, in a forum that encourages each to describe their greatest challenges and most promising solutions. All speakers are invited based on their leadership in their field and their willingness to debate fundamental issues shared by everyone developing, evaluating, and applying imaging in medicine and biology. We believe the GRC format placed in the context of a small-college venue promotes the type of innovative interdisciplinary thinking that leads to breakthroughs. An environment where leading senior scientists debate core issues is valuable to young investigators trying to build successful independent careers in medical imaging in industry and academia. All attendees are invited to present a poster describing their research in poster sessions that are a key element of the Gordon Conference format. The 2016 conference theme is "Image Science in Sequence: From Detection to Decision." Speakers give 40 minutes presentations in a single-track format with 20 minute discussions following each presentation that are led by experts in the field. Topic range from detection at the physical limits to optimal decision making based on image information integration. At the center of each presentation is a discussion of the core challenges shared by image scientists and novel techniques for acquiring and displaying information in a manner that maximizes decision performance. This second-ever GRC on Image Science builds on the success of the inaugural 2014 conference, which arose from the 2010 National Academies Keck Futures Initiative (NAKFI) meeting on Image Science. Our aim is to build Image Science as an independent field of study through detailed interdisciplinary discussions and by fostering the success of a new generation of image scientists.
