Training & Dissemination Core

CMITT培训计划的总体目标是教授生物医学研究人员使用 虽然我们的传播计划的主要目标是通知和教育更广泛的科学 关于同步PET/MR的技术能力和成就的社区共同实现两个目标 推广和启用我们的PET/MR技术的最广泛和最熟练的使用。宠物/先生是个年轻人 技术复杂的模式，技术发展快速增长，数量不断增加 全国范围内的网站。这可能会导致一个高度竞争的环境，其中中心之间共享技术 这不是常态。这正是使培训和传播成为我们CMITT的基石的背后的动机 该计划旨在通过培养协作来打破障碍，为 培训物理学家、工程师、放射化学家和临床医生，并支持广泛传播的途径。这个 开发不受特定制造商约束的PET/MR技术的独特机会意味着CMITT是 据我们所知，第一个中心可以同时使用目前市场上的两台PET/MR扫描仪 来自西门子和通用电气，与这两家制造商都有非常强大的合作。借助此创新中心 这也为整个PET/MR社区提供了一个独特的培训和传播机会。要做到这一点 Goal需要一个在使用成像系统方面经验丰富并与 解释图像数据集。因此，培训和传播举措是一个必不可少的组成部分， 是我们使命的基石。

The overall goal of the CMITT Training program is to teach scientific advances made by biomedical researchers using PET/MR, while the main objective of our Dissemination program is to inform and educate the broader scientific community about the technical capabilities and accomplishments of simultaneous PET/MR. Together the two goals promote and enable the broadest and most adept possible use of our PET/MR technologies. PET/MR is a young modality that is technically complex, with a fast pace of growth in technology development and an increasing number of sites nationwide. This can result in a hyper-competitive environment where sharing technology among centers is not the norm. This is the very motivation behind making Training and Dissemination a cornerstone of our CMITT program to aim at breaking down barriers through cultivating collaborations, providing numerous opportunities for training physicists, engineers, radiochemists, and clinicians, and supporting avenues of broad dissemination. The unique opportunity to develop PET/MR technology that is not tied to a specific manufacturer means that CMITT is the first center, to our knowledge, to have access to both simultaneous PET/MR scanners available on the market today from Siemens and GE with very strong collaborations in place with both manufacturers. With this Innovation Hub comes also a unique opportunity for Training and Dissemination to the entire PET/MR community. To achieve this goal requires a user community that is experienced in the utilization of imaging systems and working with and interpreting image data sets. Thus, the training and dissemination initiatives are an essential component and cornerstone of our mission.
