Information Processing in Medical Imaging 2005

描述（由申请人提供）：医学成像信息处理国际会议（IPMI）是涉及以下生物医学成像方面的研究人员的论坛：物理，生物和统计建模；图像形成与重建；计算图像分析；统计图像分析；可视化;以及图像质量评估。从历史上看，IPMI会议对医学成像社区产生了重大影响，包括介绍开创性的论文（许多来自女性），并帮助学生/初级教师成长为该领域的领导者。IPMI会议为期一周，从周一到周五，在小型大学城或会议中心等农村地区举行。场地的选择是为了提供一个环境，最大限度地减少成本和干扰，同时促进合作和学术讨论。主要目标是将研究界的领导者与学生和初级教师聚集在一起，就图像科学和信息处理的基本方面进行非正式、详细和深入的科学讨论。会议总是单轨，从来没有并行。每个人都住在同样的设施里，通常是大学宿舍。在为期五天的会议中，大约有28次口头报告（7次）和24次海报报告（2次）。每次口头报告的时间为60分钟，其中20分钟用于陈述，40分钟用于讨论。每个人都被分配到一个焦点小组，在会议论文集（在会议上分发）中研究4-6篇论文，然后再发表。这种形式鼓励每个人参与讨论，并促进深入讨论演示提出的基本问题。所坚持的方针是科学讨论永远不受时间限制。几乎所有IPMI参与者都将证明，在医学图像分析方面没有更好的富有成效的科学交流论坛了。与会者必须申请参加IPMI。提交一份申请表，列出申请人的证书和最近的出版物清单。邀请总数限制在120个，并且仅根据申请人的背景和对科学讨论的积极贡献的感知能力发出。来自初级教师、博士后和高级研究生的参与约占听众的30-40%，占演讲的50%以上。通过征文、广告和有针对性的个人接触，积极鼓励妇女和少数民族参加并充分参与IPMI。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The International Conference on Information Processing in Medical Imaging (IPMI) is a forum for researchers involved in the following aspects of biomedical imaging: physical, biological and statistical modeling; image formation and reconstruction; computational image analysis; statistical image analysis; visualization; and image quality assessment. Historically, IPMI conferences have had a major impact on the medical imaging community including the introduction of seminal papers (many coming from women) and helping students/junior faculty mature into leaders in the field. IPMI conferences are week-long, Monday through Friday, and are held in rural settings like small college towns or conference centers. Venues are selected for their ability to provide an environment that minimizes costs and distractions while promoting collegiality and scholarly discussion. A main goal is to bring together leaders in the research community with students and junior faculty for informal, detailed and intensive scientific discussions on fundamental aspects of image science and information processing. Sessions are always single track, never in parallel. Everyone rooms and eats in the same facilities, usually university housing. Approximately 28 oral presentations (7 sessions) and 24 poster presentations (2 sessions) are made during the five-day conference. Each oral presentation is allotted 60 minutes - 20 minutes for presentation and 40 minutes for discussion. Everyone is assigned to a focus group that studies 4-6 papers from the conference proceedings (distributed at the conference) before they are presented. This format encourages everyone to participate in discussions and promotes extended discussion that delves deep into fundamental issues raised by the presentations. The policy adhered to is that scientific discussion is never time limited. Virtually all IPMI participants will attest that there is no better forum for productive scientific exchange on medical image analysis. Participants must apply to attend IPMI. An application form is submitted listing the applicant's credentials and list of recent publications. Invitations are limited to 120, total and are issued solely on the basis of an applicant's background and perceived ability to actively contribute to scientific discussions. Participation from junior faculty, post-docs, and advanced graduate students comprise approximately 30-40% of the audience and more than 50% of the presentations. Women and Minorities are actively encouraged to attend and participate to the fullest extent in the IPMI through the Call for Papers, advertisements, and targeted personal contacts.
