IEEE International Symposium on Biomedical Imaging (ISBI) 2015

 描述(由申请人提供)：该项目为计算生物成像或密切相关领域的研究生和博士生提供NHI学生旅行和辅导支持，以参加2015年ISBI会议，该会议由IEEE信号处理学会(SPS)和医学和生物工程(EMB)联合举办，于2015年4月16日至19日在纽约举行。ISBI的目标是将对生物医学成像的数学和计算方面感兴趣的研究人员聚集在一起，重点解决对从显微镜到全身成像的空间尺度成像系统的开发和应用具有重要意义的问题。课程包括物理、生物和统计建模、图像形成和重建、计算图像分析、统计图像分析、可视化和图像质量评估。重点强调有可能适用于多种成像方式和不同尺度成像的方法。ISBI的受众参与了生物医学成像研究和开发，无论是在学术机构、政府实验室，还是在私人公司的研发部门。出版质量：与其他IEEE SPS和EMBS会议一样，ISBI要求提交和审查一篇4页的短论文。这些详细的提交材料使审查者有机会彻底评估拟议的计算或建模方法的新颖性和潜在影响。IEEE预计，这一助学金计划的主要影响将是增加学生和同事参加主要会议和教程的人数。通过提供支付部分学员的旅费，我们允许学生向她/他的导师或部门管理部门建议，参加ISBI的成本效益比将是非常有利的。好处很大程度上可以概括为“曝光”和教育。ISBI提供了接触更多研究领域的机会，而不是通常在她/他的家乡机构接触到的研究领域，它通过教程、全体会议、口头和海报演示、与领导人共进午餐和个人讨论，接触到该领域的许多世界领导人。通过发表研究论文，年轻的研究人员将她/他的研究暴露给其他人进行批判性评估和传播，从而帮助他们建立联系，从而导致研究合作和职业发展的新途径。

 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The project provides NHI Student travel and tutorial support to graduate students and Ph.D. candidates in computational bioimaging or closely related areas to attend and participate in the 2015 ISBI conference organized jointly by the IEEE Signal Processing Society (SPS) and Engineering in Medicine and Biology (EMB) in New York, NY April 16-19, 2015. The Objective of ISBI is to bring together researchers with interests in the mathematical and computational aspects of biomedical imaging, with a focus on addressing problems of significance to the development and application of imaging systems across the spatial scale, from microscopy to whole-body imaging. Topics include physical, biological and statistical modeling, image formation and reconstruction, computational image analysis, statistical image analysis, visualization, and image quality assessment. The focus emphasizes methodologies that have the potential to be applicable to multiple imaging modalities and to imaging at different scales. Audiences at ISBI are involved in biomedical imaging research and development, either in academic institutions, government laboratories, or R&D departments of private companies. Publication quality: ISBI, like other IEEE SPS and EMBS conferences, requires submission and review of a 4-page short paper. These detailed submissions provide reviewers the opportunity to thoroughly evaluate the novelty and potential impact of the proposed computational or modeling methodology. IEEE anticipates that the primary impact of this grant program will be increased student and fellow attendance to both the main conference and the tutorials. By offering to cover a portion of attendees travel expenses, we allow students to propose to her/his mentors or departmental administration that the cost-to-benefit ratio for attending the ISBI will be extremely favorable. The benefits can largely be summarized as "exposure" and education. ISBI provides opportunity for exposure to many more areas of research than those to which one is generally exposed in her/his home institution, and it provides exposure to many of the world leaders in the field through tutorials, plenary, oral, and poster presentations, lunches with leaders, and individual discussions. Through presentation of a research paper, a young investigator will expose her/his research to others for critical evaluation and dissemination, thus helping them make connections leading to research collaborations and new paths for career advancement.
