Information Processing in Medical Imaging 2009

描述（由申请人提供）：医学成像中的信息处理国际会议是生物医学成像以下方面研究人员的论坛：物理，生物和统计建模；图像形成与重建；计算图像分析；可视化;以及图像质量评估。2009年会议将于7月5日至10日在弗吉尼亚州威廉斯堡的威廉与玛丽学院举行。从历史上看，IPMI会议对医学成像社区产生了重大影响，包括引入开创性论文，帮助学生和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。所有参与者使用相同的住宿和食物设施，通常由主办学院提供。在为期五天的会议期间，将根据同行评议的12页提交的手稿，进行大约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，名义上40分钟用于讨论。每位与会者被分配到至少一个焦点小组，研究会议论文集中的4-6篇论文，这些论文在会议开始时分发。这种形式鼓励所有与会者参与讨论，无论年龄或地位如何，并促进对演示所提出的基本问题进行更深入的分析。科学讨论从来没有时间限制。几乎所有IPMI参与者都将证明，在医学成像方面没有比这更好的富有成效的科学交流论坛了。没有出席的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。为了确保一个有利于讨论的亲密气氛，总出席人数限制在约130人。初级教师、博士后研究员和高级研究生的参与通常占听众的30-40%，占演讲的50%以上。积极鼓励妇女、少数民族和残疾人参加和参与征文、广告和有针对性的个人接触。在可能的情况下，为年轻与会者和代表性不足群体的与会者提供折扣或免除注册费。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant):The International Conference on Information Processing in Medical Imaging 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; visualization; and image quality assessment. The 2009 meeting will be held at the College of William & Mary in Williamsburg, VA on July 5-10. Historically, IPMI conferences have had a major impact on the medical imaging community including the introduction of seminal papers and helping students and 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. All participants use the same facilities for lodging and food, usually provided through the hosting college. Approximately 28 oral presentations (7 sessions) and 24 poster presentations (2 sessions), selected based on peer-reviewed 12 page submitted manuscripts, are made during the five-day conference. Each oral presentation is allotted 60 minutes - 20 minutes for presentation and nominally 40 minutes for discussion. Each attendee is assigned to at least one focus group that studies 4-6 papers from the conference proceedings, which are distributed at the onset of the conference. This format encourages participation in discussions by all attendees, regardless of age or status, and promotes a deeper analysis of the fundamental issues raised by the presentations. Scientific discussion is never time limited. Virtually all IPMI participants will attest that there is no better forum for productive scientific exchange on medical imaging. Participants who are not presenting must apply to attend IPMI. An application form is submitted listing the applicant's credentials and list of recent publications. To ensure an intimate atmosphere conducive to discussion, total attendance is limited to approximately 130 people. Participation from junior faculty, postdoctoral fellows, and advanced graduate students typically comprise approximately 30-40% of the audience and more than 50% of the presentations. Women, minorities, and persons with disabilities are actively encouraged to attend and participate in the Call for Papers, advertisements, and targeted personal contacts. Where possible, discounted or waived registration fees are offered to younger attendees and participants from underrepresented groups.
