2010 In Vivo Magnetic Resonance Gordon Research Conference

描述（由申请人提供）：这是一份申请，要求支持第六届戈登研究会议（GRC）：体内磁共振（MR）。本次会议将涵盖一系列主题，包括核磁共振成像和光谱学在细胞、动物和人类中的应用；解决基础科学和临床研究问题。将特别强调新兴的技术、生物和健康相关事项，这些事项将对这一非凡的成像领域的发展产生重大影响。第六届会议将于2010年7月25日至30日在新罕布什尔州安多弗的普罗科特学院举行。第六届会议的主席是Risto A Kauppinen，医学博士，生物医学核磁共振研究中心主任和放射学研究教授，达特茅斯学院，汉诺威，新罕布什尔州；副主席Craig Stanisz博士，加拿大安大略省多伦多市多伦多大学医学生物物理系副教授。第五届In Vivo MR GRC于2008年在同一地点举行。上次会议极为成功。仪器、成像速度的显著进步，以及线圈和梯度技术的广泛进步，继续为MR的快速发展及其在体内的应用创造了丰富的环境。这是及时和必要的，聚集主要的个人和未来的研究人员，深入讨论，没有在其他科学场所做的，这一重要的成像科学领域的下一步冒险。In Vivo MR GRC将包括科学会议，每个会议有两到四名发言人和一名讨论主持人。还将有四次海报会议（根据以往grc的经验，大多数参与者将展示海报）和讨论，旨在促进参与者之间的密切互动。按照传统标准，GRC会议的规模很小（约140-150人），但邀请/接受与会者的方式将确保由代表学术和政府机构以及来自公司研究项目的个人的不同群体的初级和高级研究人员参加。鼓励学生和博士后参加。初级调查人员将有机会进行口头陈述。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This is an application requesting support for the 6th Gordon Research Conference (GRC) on: In Vivo Magnetic Resonance (MR). This meeting will cover an array of topics spanning the use of MR imaging and spectroscopy in cells, animals, and humans; addressing both basic science and clinical research issues. Particular emphases will be placed on emerging technological, biological, and health related matters that will significantly impact the growth of this remarkable imaging field. The 6th Conference will be held July 25 - 30, 2010, at Proctor Academy, Andover, NH. The Chair of the 6th Conference is Risto A Kauppinen, MD PhD, Director of the Biomedical NMR Research Center and Research Professor of Radiology, Dartmouth College, Hanover, NH; the vice-Chair is Craig Stanisz, PhD, Associate Professor, Department of Medical Biophysics, University of Toronto, Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The 5th In Vivo MR GRC was held in 2008 in the same location. The previous Conference was extremely successful. Significant advances in instrumentation, imaging speed, and in a wide array of advancements in coil and gradient technologies continue to create a rich environment for rapid growth of MR and its in vivo applications. It is both timely and necessary to gather together the leading individuals and future investigators to address, in depth, as is done at no other scientific venue, the next ventures of this important imaging science field. The In Vivo MR GRC will include scientific sessions, each with two to four speakers and a discussion leader. There will also be four poster sessions (from experience gathered in previous GRCs most participants will present a poster) and discussions designed to facilitate close interaction between the participants. By design, GRC meetings are small by conventional standards (approximately 140-150 participants) but participants will be invited/accepted in a manner to ensure attendance by a diverse group of junior and senior investigators representing academic and government institutions and individuals from corporate research programs. Students and postdoctoral fellows will be encouraged to attend. Junior investigators will be given opportunity for oral presentations. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: Support is requested for the 6th Gordon Research Conference (GRC) on :In Vivo Magnetic Resonance: (July 25-30, 2010). Magnetic resonance (MR) techniques play a critical role in the delivery of high quality health care and MR is an essential player in the modern molecular medicine. The GRC meeting will emphasize emerging and cutting-edge technological, biological, and health related issues that will significantly impact the growth and application of this remarkable imaging field.
