Support Young Investigator Attendance at the 2011 IEEE International Symposium on Biomedical Imaging in Chicago, Ill., March 30-April 2, 2011

支持青年研究者参加2011年IEEE生物医学成像国际研讨会。项目摘要：IEEE国际生物医学成像研讨会：从纳米到宏观（ISBI）是一个面向对生物医学成像的计算和建模方面特别感兴趣的研究人员的论坛。它强调有可能适用于多种成像方式和不同尺度成像的方法。主题包括生物和解剖结构的物理、生物和统计建模、图像形成和重建、计算和统计图像分析、可视化和图像质量评估。会议旨在促进不同成像方式和尺度之间的方法交流，应用范围从纳米、分子和细胞水平到小动物成像，再到宏观和全身临床系统。虽然许多医学成像会议侧重于特定的模式，但ISBI包括应用于生物和解剖成像模式的多种方法，无论是新兴的还是成熟的。感兴趣的应用包括基因表达定位、药物发现和递送、分子成像、功能脑成像、计算神经解剖学、心血管成像和癌症成像。ISBI的一个主要目标是将方法与重要的生物医学应用联系起来，从微观到宏观。ISBI 2011将于3月30日举行。2011年4月2日，在伊利诺斯州的芝加哥，将举行由两个IEEE学会共同主办的系列会议中的第8次会议：医学与生物工程学会（EMBS）和信号处理学会（SPS）。首届ISBI会议于2002年7月举行，随后的会议分别于2004年4月、2006年、2007年、2008年5月、2009年6月至7月和2010年4月举行。前几届ISBI会议的成功预示着ISBI的未来。ISBI的成功及其对该领域的影响，以及该领域本身的未来，取决于培训年轻的研究人员使用最先进的复杂计算或建模工具，并向研究人员通报医学成像协议和模式的最新进展。此外，生物医学成像领域固有的跨学科性质意味着没有一个专业组织拥有大多数潜在参与者作为其成员。在这种情况下，教程系列是一个重要的组成部分，它涵盖了非常多样化的主题，并在研讨会的第一天提供，在以前的ISBI会议中非常受欢迎。本项目将资助美国青年研究人员（学生、博士后和青年教师）参加和出席研讨会。

CBET - 1065860 Support Young Investigator Attendance at the 2011 IEEE International Symposium on Biomedical Imaging in Chicago, Ill., March 30-April 2, 2011Liebling, Michael University of California-Santa BarbaraProgram Director: Semahat S. Demir, Ph.D.PROJECT ABSTRACTThe IEEE International Symposium on Biomedical Imaging: From Nano to Macro (ISBI) is a forum for researchers particularly interested in the computational and modeling aspects of biomedical imaging. It emphasizes methodologies that have the potential to be applicable to multiple imaging modalities and to imaging at different scales. Topics include physical, biological and statistical modeling of biological and anatomical structures, image formation and reconstruction, computational and statistical image analysis, visualization, and image quality assessment. The meeting aims to facilitate cross-fertilization of methodologies between different imaging modalities and scales, with applications ranging from the nano, molecular and cellular levels through small-animal imaging to macroscopic and whole-body clinical systems. Whereas many medical imaging meetings focus on particular modalities, ISBI includes a diversity of methodologies applied to biological and anatomical imaging modalities, either emerging or well established. Applications of interest include gene expression mapping, drug discovery and delivery, molecular imaging, functional brain mapping, computational neuroanatomy, cardiovascular imaging, and cancer imaging. A principal goal of ISBI is to connect methodologies with important biomedical applications, from microscopic to macroscopic scales. ISBI 2011, to be held during March 30?April 2, 2011, in Chicago, Illinois, will be the 8th in a series of meetings cosponsored by two IEEE societies: the Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society (EMBS) and the Signal Processing Society (SPS). The inaugural ISBI meeting was held in July 2002, and subsequent ones in April 2004, 2006, 2007, May 2008, June-July 2009 and April 2010. The success of the previous ISBI meetings bodes well for the future of ISBI. The success of ISBI and its impact on the field, and indeed the future of the field itself, relies on training young investigators to work with state-of-the-art sophisticated computational or modeling tools and on informing the researcher community of the latest progress in medical imaging protocols and modalities. In addition, the inherently interdisciplinary nature of the biomedical imaging field means that no single professional organization has the majority of potential participants as its members. In this context, the tutorials series, covering very diverse topics and offered on the first day of the symposium, is an important component, which has been very popular in previous ISBI meetings. This project will fund to support the participation and attendance at the symposium by US based young investigators (students, postdoctoral fellows, and junior faculty).
