2016 Image Science Gordon Research Conference

 描述（由申请人提供）：该提案要求支持早期职业调查人员参加2016年戈登图像科学研究会议。与其他医学成像会议相比，本次会议的独特之处在于将来自不同应用领域的知名演讲者聚集在一起，包括天文学，生物学，医学，遥感以及安全和国防行业，在一个论坛中鼓励每个人描述他们面临的最大挑战和最有前途的解决方案。所有演讲者都是根据他们在各自领域的领导地位以及他们对每个人在医学和生物学中开发，评估和应用成像的基本问题进行辩论的意愿而被邀请的。我们相信，在一个小型大学场地的背景下放置的GRC格式促进了创新的跨学科思维的类型，导致突破。领先的高级科学家辩论核心问题的环境对于试图在工业和学术界建立成功的医学成像独立职业的年轻研究人员来说是有价值的。所有与会者都被邀请提交一份海报，描述他们在海报会议上的研究，这是戈登会议形式的一个关键要素。2016年会议的主题是“序列中的图像科学：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佳决策。在每个演示文稿的中心是讨论图像科学家和新技术共享的核心挑战，以最大限度地提高决策性能的方式获取和显示信息。这是第二次图像科学GRC会议，其基础是2014年首届会议的成功，该会议源于2010年国家科学院凯克未来倡议（NAKFI）图像科学会议。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，将图像科学建立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.
