INFORMATION PROCESSING IN MEDICAL IMAGING CONFERENCE

此应用程序是为2001年7月将在加州大学戴维斯分校举行的医学成像信息处理会议（IPMI'01）提供支持的请求。在之前的16次会议中，这个两年一次的研讨会式会议传统上集中在医学图像的获取、处理、分析、显示和感知方面的最新进展。在2001年的会议上，我们打算继续这一传统，同时鼓励年轻研究者，特别是高级研究生、博士后研究员和初级教师的贡献。重点是应用数学技术在计算机视觉，微成像技术和信息技术。本次会议报告的进展在神经系统疾病、心血管疾病和癌症的研究中尤其重要，尽管在功能基因组学、骨科和软组织生物力学领域的应用也有代表。会议吸引了来自广泛学科的研究人员，特别是计算机科学家、神经科学家、电子工程师、心脏病学家、数学家、肿瘤学家和物理学家。通过从医学图像数据中提取和呈现诊断信息来提高医疗保健质量，各方都有共同的兴趣。约130人将受邀出席；大约有25-30位演讲者和25-30个海报展示。论文由25名成员组成的科学委员会对15-20页的手稿进行同行评审。选定的论文将发表在会议的论文集中。

This application is a request for support of the July 2001 meeting on Information Processing in Medical Imaging (IPMI'01) to be held on the campus of the University of California, Davis. During 16 previous meetings, this biennial workshop-style conference has traditionally concentrated on the latest advancements in the acquisition, processing, analysis, display, and perception of medical images. At the 2001 meeting, we intend to continue this tradition while encouraging contributions from young investigators, specifically advanced graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and junior faculty. The emphasis is on applied mathematical techniques in computer vision, microimaging techniques, and information technology. Advances reported at this meeting are especially important in the study of neurological disorders, cardiovascular disease and cancer, although applications in the area of functional genomics, orthopedics and soft tissue biomechanics are also represented. The conference attracts researchers from a broad range of disciplines, particularly computer scientists, neuroscientists, electrical engineers, cardiologists, mathematicians, oncologists, and physicists. All share an interest in improving the quality of health care through the extraction and presentation of diagnostic information from medical image data. Approximately 130 individuals will be invited to attend; there will be approximately 25-30 speakers and 25-30 poster presentations. Papers are accepted based on peer review by a 25 member scientific committee of 15-20 page manuscripts. Selected papers will be published in proceedings that will be available at the conference.
