RESEARCH TRAINING IN IMAGING METHODS FOR CANCER

超出所提供的空间。项目摘要：该计划的目标是培养博士后科学家，以从事放射学领域许多子专业重要主题的基础和应用科学和工程研究。在过去的几十年中，生物医学成像为基础的专业在数量和规模上大大增加;这一趋势在很大程度上是由于科学家和工程师的成就，他们开发和改进了各种新的，非侵入性或微创成像技术。布莱根妇女医院（BWH）和哈佛医学院（HMS）的放射科从事许多与生物医学成像和微创治疗相关的研究项目。该系约一半的全职教师拥有博士学位。在最近一个财政年度，BWH放射学的NIH赠款资金的近80%是由博士采购和指导的。或非临床医学博士首席调查员放射科明确致力于在多学科临床和研究环境中促进基础，基于图像的科学和工程研究，这意味着拟议的博士后培训计划显然适合培养下一代生物医学成像科学家。该计划将在任何时候培养多达8名博士后科学家，每人为期2-3年。在进入我们的计划之前，学员将完成博士学位，通常在科学或工程的相关领域。博士后学员将从事以下一个或多个子项目的研究：实验核医学，基于图像的信息学，图像引导的组织消融，放射物理学（MR，X射线，CT）或手术规划与3D图像重建。相关性：为了维持直接来自新放射程序研究的医疗保健的重大进步，需要来自许多学科（包括物理学，化学，生物学，数学，工程学和计算机科学）的生物医学科学家的不断补充。我们相信，未来的生物医学成像研究人员最有可能在临床和研究相结合的环境中茁壮成长，在那里他们可以向其他科学家以及医生学习并与他们合作。性能现场=

EXCEED THE SPACE PROVIDED. Project Summary: The objective of this program is to train post-doctoral scientists to pursue basic and applied scientific and engineering research on topics of importance to many sub-specialties in the field of radiology. During the past several decades, biomedical imaging-based specialties have increased greatly in number and magnitude; this trend is largely attributable to the accomplishments of the scientists and engineers who have developed and improved upon a variety of new, noninvasive or minimally invasive imaging technologies. The Department of Radiology at Brigham and Women's Hospital (BWH) and Harvard Medical School (HMS) is engaged in many research projects related to biomedical imaging and minimally- invasive therapies. Approximately half of the full-time faculty members of the department hold a Ph.D. degree, and almost 80% of BWH Radiology's NIH grant funding during the most recent fiscal year was procured and directed by Ph.D. or non-clinical M.D. principal investigators. The Radiology Department's clear commitment to fostering research in fundamental, image-based science and engineering within a multi- disciplinary clinical and research environment means that the proposed post-doctoral training program is demonstrably suited to train the next generation of biomedical imaging scientists. The proposed program will train up to 8 post-doctoral scientists at any given time, for a period of 2-3 years each. Before entering our program, trainees will have completed a doctoral degree, usually in a relevant field of science or engineering. Post-doctoral trainees will pursue research in one or more of the following sub-programs: experimental nuclear medicine, image-based informatics, image-guided tissue ablation, radiologic physics (MR, x-ray, CT), or surgical planning with 3D image reconstruction. Relevance: To sustain the significant advances in medical care that have resulted directly from research on new radiologic procedures, continuous replenishment of biomedical scientists from many disciplines ~ including physics, chemistry, biology, mathematics, engineering, and computer science - is needed. We believe that future biomedical imaging researchers are most likely to thrive in a combined clinical and research setting where they can learn from, and collaborate with, other scientists, as well as physicians.
