Abstract The IEEE Medical Imaging Conference (MIC) is the leading international scientific meeting bringing together a broad community interested in the physics, engineering, and mathematical aspects of medical imaging, with particular emphasis on nuclear medicine and multi-modal systems. The MIC runs in conjunction with the IEEE Nuclear Science Symposium (NSS) and the Workshop on Room Temperature Semiconductor X-ray and Gamma-ray Detectors (RTSD). The purpose of the MIC is to disseminate and foster new research in physics and bio- engineering methods in medical imaging. While the traditional topics of primary interest are related to nuclear medicine techniques such as positron emission tomography (PET) and single photon emission computerized tomography (SPECT), increasing space will also be given to recently evolving imaging modalities such as X-ray, CT, optical, MR, with particular emphasis on their multi-modal combination with nuclear medical imaging. Lately, there has also been additional interest in employing deep learning and AI to enhance the field of medical imaging. The conference provides a well-established forum for scientific exchange and dialogue between researchers in academia, industry, and government, as well as public education. The large spectrum of educational refresher sessions and short courses reflects its special emphasis on young generations. One of the primary objectives of the conference is the education of young investigators. Therefore, this NIH R13 proposal seeks $10,000 in funding for each of the next three years to provide 50 trainee grants of $200 each to partially cover the costs of MIC conference registration, housing, or short course fees for graduate students and postdoctoral fellows. We anticipate that the main impact of this grant program will be to increase the attendance of students and postdocs at the 2023 through 2025 meetings, especially those typically underrepresented, and to support their participation in educational activities. It is important to bring young generations, especially women, minorities, and those with disabilities, into the medical imaging field, where they could become leading players in the coming years. They will attend plenary and oral presentations given by many world leaders in the nuclear medical imaging instrumentation, image processing, and quantitative analysis fields. Moreover, they will be given the unique opportunity of direct personal interaction through short courses and dedicated poster presentations. Their work will be exposed to the other participants for critical evaluation, constructive suggestions, and dissemination. Furthermore, many of these trainees will likely continue in this field, thereby contributing to advancing technology with high societal relevance as it is being increasingly used in the clinical management of disease and therapeutic interventions.
