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.

该计划针对采用图像分析技术进行医疗保健的行业。它属于NSERC，创造了培训高素质的学生和PDF的任务 - 他们将在魁北克和加拿大养活和发展该行业的人员。它通过利用这些公司中的许多已经与申请人进行了积极合作的事实来实现。该计划的受训者将接受医学图像获取和分析，信号处理，计算机视觉和生物医学成像的高级培训。他们将能够从任何创始站点（McGill，ETS，U。Sherbrooke）进入该计划，但将在其他地方花费两次旋转。其中至少一个将在工业部门。该创建计划将为受训者提供在多学科研究环境中工作的机会，并观察其研究对与他们所生活的社会有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。除了医学成像研究中的工业和学术职业机会外，该计划的毕业生将在更广泛的计算机视觉，成像和信号处理的领域中工作。行业也将受益，因为这项合作将为我们的合作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，从而大大加快了知识的传播和所得技术的转移。除了行业内增长和发展的可能性外，这种专业知识还可以导致医学成像和生物技术的其他领域的新创新，这是加拿大经济增长最快的细分市场之一。目前，很少有集成计划在医学图像分析和获取中提供全面的培训，从而使该计划特别及时地创建。
