A Special Symposium on Magnetic Resonance Imaging

该项目将为2008年3月26日至28日在伊利诺伊大学厄巴纳香槟分校举行的名为“Paul C. Lauterbur Memorial symposium”的磁共振成像（MRI）专题研讨会提供支持。Paul C. Lauterbur博士被称为MRI的“父亲”。他和彼得·曼斯菲尔德爵士（Sir Peter Mansfield）因其开创性的发现使核磁共振成像成为可能而获得2003年诺贝尔生理学或医学奖。Paul C. Lauterbur纪念研讨会将为MRI的历史发展、现状和未来方向提供一个独特的系统讨论论坛。研讨会包括四场全体会议的邀请演讲和两场由主要MRI研究人员举行的主题演讲，以及两场由劳特伯博士的一些前同事和学生举行的特别会议。本次研讨会将对本领域和跨领域的初级研究人员和学生具有很大的教育意义和启发作用。

Lauterbur Memorial Symposium' during March 26-28, 2008 at University of Illinois Urbana Champaign. Dr. Paul C. Lauterbur has been known as the 'father' of MRI. He and Sir Peter Mansfield won the Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine in 2003 for their seminal discoveries that made MRI possible. The Paul C. Lauterbur Memorial Symposium will provide a unique forum for a systematic discussion of historical developments, present status, and future directions of MRI. The symposium features four plenary sessions of invited talks and two keynote lectures by leading MRI researchers, as well as two special sessions of talks by some of Dr. Lauterbur's former colleagues and students. This symposium will be of great educational benefit and be inspiring to junior researchers and students in the field and across fields.
