MIPS XII Conference

描述（由申请人提供）： 第十二届医学图像感知会议将汇集人们研究从医学图像中提取诊断信息的过程。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 XII将是我们在中西部（爱荷华州大学）的第一次会议。会议将由爱荷华州大学放射学系和医学图像感知学会联合组织。会议将于2007年10月17日至10月20日在位于爱荷华州爱荷华州市的爱荷华州纪念联盟大学举行。会议选择了五个主题领域，每个主题领域都反映了放射学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）医学图像的人类感知，（2）观察者建模，（3）图像处理和计算机辅助诊断，（4）显示和人机工程学因素对图像感知和性能的影响，（5）技术评价方法，包括ROC方法和统计方法。本次会议的新内容将是一系列小组讨论，以补充这些主题领域。这些小组的目标将是制定一系列关于医学图像感知领域的问题和/或应该走向何方。我们将向学术放射学或放射学提交MIPS研究议程的更新（最初于1998年发表在学术放射学上（医学图像感知研究学院1998年的长期目标更新;5：629-633）。

DESCRIPTION (provided by the applicant): The Medical Image Perception Conference XII 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 XII will be our first meeting in the Midwest (University of Iowa). The conference will be organized jointly by the University of Iowa Department of Radiology and the Medical Image Perception Society. The conference will run from October 17 through October 20, 2007 at the University of Iowa Memorial Union located in Iowa City, Iowa. Five topic areas have been selected for the conference, each reflecting an important dimension of the radiologic image interpretation process, that are especially relevant for the digital reading environment: (1) Human Perception of Medical Images, (2) Observer Modeling, (3) Image Processing and Computer Aided Diagnosis, (4) Impact of display & ergonomic factors on image perception & performance, (5) Technology evaluation methods including ROC methodology and statistical methods. New to this conference will be a series of panel discussion that complement each of these topic areas. The goal of these panels will be to formulate a series of questions regarding where the field of medical image perception is and/or should be heading. We will submit an update of the MIPS research agenda (originally published in Academic Radiology in 1998 (Update on Long-Term Goals for Medical Image Perception Research Acad Rad 1998;5:629-633) to either Academic Radiology or Radiology.
