This program is targeted towards industries which employ image analysis technologies for healthcare. It falls under the NSERC CREATE mandate to train highly qualified students and PDFs -- personnel who will feed and grow this industry in Quebec and Canada. It does so by taking advantage of the fact that many of these companies are already engaged in active collaborations with the applicants. Trainees in this program will receive advanced training in medical image acquisition and analysis, signal processing, computer vision and biomedical imaging. They will be able to enter the program from any of the founding sites (McGill, ETS, U. Sherbrooke) but will spend two rotations elsewhere; at least one of which will be in the industrial sector. This CREATE program will offer its trainees the opportunity to work in a multi-disciplinary research environment and observe the direct impact of their research on problems that are immediately relevant to the society in which they live. Upon completion, these individuals will have acquired expertise in image processing, medical imaging, mathematical modeling, statistical analysis, machine learning and software engineering. In addition to the industrial and academic career opportunities in medical imaging research, graduates of the program will be highly qualified to work in the wider domains of computer vision, imaging and signal processing. Industry too will benefit, as this collaboration will provide scientists and engineers at our partner industries the opportunity to participate directly in academic research, greatly speeding up the dissemination of knowledge and the transfer of the resulting technologies. In addition to the possibility of growth and development within industry, this expertise can lead to new innovations in other areas of medical imaging and biotechnology, among the fastest growing segments of the Canadian economy. Few integrated programs presently exist to provide comprehensive training in medical image analysis and acquisition, making this CREATE program particularly novel and timely.

该计划针对的是采用图像分析技术进行医疗保健的行业。它福尔斯属于NSERC创建任务，以培养高素质的学生和PDF-人员谁将养活和发展这个行业在魁北克和加拿大。它这样做是利用这样一个事实，即许多这些公司已经与申请人积极合作。该计划的学员将接受医学图像采集和分析，信号处理，计算机视觉和生物医学成像方面的高级培训。他们将能够进入该计划从任何创始网站（麦吉尔，ETS，美国）。舍布鲁克），但将在其他地方花两个轮换，其中至少一个将在工业部门。该CREATE计划将为学员提供在多学科研究环境中工作的机会，并观察他们的研究对与他们生活的社会直接相关的问题的直接影响。完成后，这些人将获得图像处理，医学成像，数学建模，统计分析，机器学习和软件工程方面的专业知识。除了医学成像研究领域的工业和学术职业机会外，该项目的毕业生还将具有在计算机视觉、成像和信号处理等更广泛领域工作的高素质。工业界也将受益，因为这种合作将为我们伙伴行业的科学家和工程师提供直接参与学术研究的机会，大大加快知识的传播和技术的转让。除了在行业内增长和发展的可能性外，这种专业知识还可以在加拿大经济增长最快的医疗成像和生物技术等领域带来新的创新。目前很少有综合方案提供全面的培训，在医学图像分析和采集，使这CREATE程序特别新颖和及时。
