Medical Image Perception Society Confrence XI

描述（由申请人提供）：医学图像感知会议Xi将汇集研究从医学图像中提取诊断信息过程的人员。这包括放射科医生，心理学家，统计学家，物理学家，工程师和这个不断发展的研究社区的其他人。MIPS会议的目标是交流当前的研究，举办教程概述，并就当前具有挑战性或“热点”问题举办研讨会。本次会议的主要优势是出席人数的持续增长，其务虚会研讨会的设置，以及新生和主要研究人员的传统聚会，这些研究人员都是关于人类和机器阅读器从医学图像中提取诊断信息的问题。MIPS Xi将是我们的第一次国际会议，因此代表了社会和会议发展的新阶段。 会议将由英国德比大学、英国兰开斯特圣马丁学院和医学图像感知学会联合举办。会议将于2005年9月27日至9月30日在位于英格兰温德米尔湖岸边的温德米尔鲍内斯老英格兰酒店举行。会议选择了九个主题领域，每个领域都反映了放射图像解释过程的一个重要方面，与数字阅读环境特别相关：（1）异常的检测和辨别;（2）认知和心理物理过程;（3）感知错误;（4）搜索模式;（5）人类和理想观察者模型;（6）基于计算机的感知：CAD&CADx;（7）显示和人体工程学因素对图像感知和性能的影响;（8）图像处理对图像感知和性能的作用;以及（9）评估方法（例如，ROC方法的进展）。我们在一个更加国际化的环境中举办MIPS Xi的主要原因之一是让北美与会者接触到通常不会在美国会议上或在美国期刊上发表的研究项目和研究。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Medical Image Perception Conference XI will bring together people investigating the process of extracting diagnostic information from medical images. This includes radiologists, psychologists, statisticians, physicists, engineers, and others in this growing research community. The goal of the MIPS conference is to exchange current research, hold tutorial overviews, and to have workshops on current challenging or "hot topic" issues. The main strengths of this conference are its continued growth in attendance, its retreat workshop setting, and its traditional gathering of new students and key researchers on the problem of extracting diagnostic information from medical images by human and machine readers. MIPS XI will be our first international meeting and thus represents a new stage in the growth of the society and the conference. The conference will be organized jointly by the University Derby, Derby United Kingdom, St. Martin's College, Lancaster United Kingdom and the Medical Image Perception Society. The conference will run from September 27 through September 30, 2005 at the Old England Hotel, Bowness on Windermere located on the shores of Lake Windermere, England. Nine topic areas have been selected for the conference, each reflecting an important dimension of the radiological image interpretation process, that are especially relevant for the digital reading environment: (1) Detection & discrimination of abnormalities; (2) Cognitive & psychophysical processes; (3) Perception errors; (4) Search patterns; 5) Human & ideal observer models; (6) Computer-based perception: CAD & CADx; (7) Impact of display & ergonomic factors on image perception & performance; (8) Role of image processing on image perception & performance; and (9) Assessment methodologies (e.g., advances in ROC methods). One of our main reasons for having MIPS XI in a more international setting is to expose the North American attendees to research programs and studies that generally do not make it over to US conferences or get published in US journals.
