Southwest Conference on Integrated Mathematical Methods in Medical Imaging; February 2010; Tempe, Arizona

该提案旨在资助将于2010年2月6日至7日在亚利桑那州坦佩市亚利桑那州立大学举行的医学成像综合数学方法西南会议的参与者，特别是少数民族、女性、研究生、博士后和初级教员的费用。会议的主要焦点是加强对磁共振成像（MRI）中使用的现代数据收集策略在生成高保真图像方面的后果的数学理解。会议将汇集来自数学科学和工程学的研究人员以及来自生物医学界的从业人员。它将吸引来自各个职业阶段的研究人员，包括来自亚利桑那州立大学和其他西南院校的本科生，他们将被邀请全面参与会议。来自亚利桑那州立大学、亚利桑那大学和其他西南院校的研究生和本科生也将被鼓励进行海报展示和参加讲座。组织者期待来自许多亚利桑那州医学研究医院的代表，如梅奥诊所、BNI和班纳健康，他们积极从事脑成像研究，以及来自亚利桑那大学的研究人员。

The proposal is for funding to help defray the expenses of participants, especially minorities, women, graduate students, postdocs, and junior faculty, at Southwest Conference on Integrated Mathematical Methods in Medical Imaging that will take place February 6 and 7, 2010, at Arizona State University, Tempe, Arizona.The main focus of the conference is to enhance the mathematical understanding of the consequences of modern data collection strategies used in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with respect to generating high fidelity images. The conference will bring together researchers from the mathematical sciences and engineering as well as practitioners from the biomedical community. It will engage researchers from all career stages, including undergraduates from ASU and other Southwestern institutions who will be invited to fully participate in the conference. Graduate and undergraduate students from ASU, the University of Arizona and other Southwestern institutions will also be encouraged to give poster presentations and attend talks. The organizers anticipate representation from some of the many Arizona medical research hospitals, Mayo Clinic, BNI, and Banner Health, who are actively engaged in brain imaging research, as well with researchers from the University of Arizona.
