MIPS XIV Conference

描述（由申请人提供）：第十四届医学图像感知会议汇集了国际社会的专家和学生，他们都在研究从医学图像中提取诊断信息。这包括放射科医生、放射技师和其他基于图像的临床医生、心理学家、统计学家、物理学家、工程师、计算机科学家和这个不断发展的研究界的其他人。会议的主要优势和意义在于其出席人数的持续增长，其研讨会设置，以及其传统的新学生和主要研究人员聚集在一起，讨论通过人类和机器阅读器从医学图像中提取诊断信息的问题。MIPS XIV由都柏林大学医学院和医学科学学院（Mark McEntee博士）和医学图像感知学会（Elizabeth Krupinski博士）联合组织，将于2011年8月9日至12日在爱尔兰都柏林大学校园附近的莫里森酒店举行。选择了九个主题领域，每个领域都反映了医学图像解释过程的一个重要方面，这些领域与数字阅读环境特别相关：(1)异常的检测和识别，(2)认知和心理物理过程，(3)感知错误，(4)搜索模式，(5)人类和理想观察者模型，(6)基于计算机的感知（CAD和CADx），(7)显示和人体工程学因素对图像感知和性能的影响，(8)图像处理对图像感知和性能的作用，(9)评估方法。摘要门户已经在MIPS网站上开放（截止日期为2011年3月4日），主题已经提交。具体目标1：支持10名学生参加并在MIPS XIV上展示他们的研究：自1997年以来，MIPS获得了NIH的支持，为感兴趣的学生提供了参加会议的机会，展示他们的工作，并与该领域公认的领导者进行互动。到目前为止，已有75名学生获得奖学金参加会议。支持这些学生的主要目标是在实习生职业生涯的形成阶段创造机会并提供支持性指导，以提高他们的研究潜力和成功的可能性。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Medical Image Perception Conference XIV brings together an international community of experts and students alike investigating the extraction of diagnostic information from medical images. This includes radiologists, radiographers and other image-based clinicians, psychologists, statisticians, physicists, engineers, computer scientists and others in this growing research community. The main strengths and significance of the meeting are its continued growth in attendance, its 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 XIV is being organized jointly by the University College Dublin School of Medicine & Medical Science (Mark McEntee, PhD) and the Medical Image Perception Society (Elizabeth Krupinski, PhD), and will run August 9 -12, 2011 at the Morrison Hotel in Dublin, Ireland located near the University campus. Nine topic areas have been selected, each reflecting an important dimension of the medical image interpretation process, that are especially relevant for the digital reading environment: (1) Detection & discrimination of abnormalities, (2) Cognitive & psychophysical processes, (3) Perception errors, (4) Search patterns, (5) Human & ideal observer models, (6) Computer- based perception (CAD & CADx), (7) Impact of display & ergonomic factors on image perception & performance, (8) Role of image processing on image perception & performance and (9) Assessment methodologies. The abstract portal is already open on the MIPS web site (due March 4, 2011) and topics are already being submitted. Specific Aim 1: Support 10 students to attend and present their research at MIPS XIV: Since 1997, MIPS has received NIH support to provide an opportunity for interested students to attend the meeting, present their work, and interact with recognized leaders in the field. To date, 75 students have been awarded scholarships to attend the meeting. The primary goal in supporting these students is to create opportunities and offer supportive mentoring at this formative stage in the trainee's career to enhance their research potential and likelihood of success. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: The meeting brings together researchers investigating the process of extracting diagnostic information from medical images to render accurate and efficient diagnostic decisions. Opportunities for advanced, interdisciplinary training of young scientists interested in medical image perception research and its relevance to disease prevention and treatment are often quite limited at the university level. Since 1997, 75 students have been awarded MIPS scholarships, having a significant impact on the field by creating opportunities and offering supportive mentoring at this formative stage in the trainee's career to enhance their research potential and likelihood of success as independent basic science and clinician-scientist researchers.
