Abstract The Interdisciplinary Biomedical Imaging Training Program will prepare predoctoral trainees to become leaders in organism-level, biomedical imaging technology and application research. Multi-disciplinary teams of engineers, physicists, biologists, and clinicians are required to advance biomedical imaging, especially with the advent of in vivo cellular and molecular imaging. We will create the next generation of interdisciplinary biomedical imaging scientists and engineers who will contribute to and lead such teams. Our training program will build upon continuing, significant institutional, state, federal, and commercial investment in faculty and imaging infrastructure. A training grant award will place students squarely in the center of on-going interdisciplinary/multidisciplinary research programs. Trainees will use imaging facilities in the Case Center for Imaging Research which includes state-of-the-art clinical and small animal imaging systems, along with labs of mentoring faculty. Predoctoral trainees will be from the highly-rated departments of Biomedical Engineering and Physics, both of which have a long history of training in biomedical imaging. Trainees will conduct research projects combining enabling technologies in imaging with biomedical research. Each trainee will have two or more mentors representing both imaging technology and biological/clinical applications of imaging. Our educational program includes a portfolio of imaging courses, including ones focusing on imaging physics, image analysis, and reconstruction, as well as nanomedicine. We will promote a culture of interdisciplinary research during a designated Imaging Hour. Our T32 has enabled us to increase recruitment of women and under- represented minorities. In general, it has helped make graduate students cost effective as compared to post docs and ensured training of domestic PhD's in this area of critical need. In less than nine years, our T32 program has already successfully trained several graduates, all with exemplary training records and with a trajectory towards success. Other trainees are moving through the program focusing on exciting interdisciplinary imaging research and with excellent research productivity.

抽象的 跨学科的生物医学成像培训计划将为培训前学员做准备成为领导者 在有机体水平，生物医学成像技术和应用研究中。多学科团队 需要工程师，物理学家，生物学家和临床医生来推进生物医学成像，尤其是在 体内细胞和分子成像的出现。我们将创建下一代的跨学科生物医学 成像将为和领导此类团队做出贡献和领导的科学家和工程师。我们的培训计划将基于 持续，重要的机构，州，联邦和商业投资在教师和成像中 基础设施。培训赠款奖将使学生直接进入持续的中心 跨学科/多学科研究计划。受训人员将在案例中心使用成像设施 成像研究包括最先进的临床和小动物成像系统，以及 指导教师。托管前学员将来自生物医学工程高度评价的部门 物理学，两者在生物医学成像方面都有悠久的培训史。学员将进行研究 将成像中的促成技术与生物医学研究相结合的项目。每个学员将有两个或 更多代表成像技术和成像的生物/临床应用的导师。我们的 教育计划包括一门成像课程的组合，包括专注于成像物理学的课程，图像 分析和重建以及纳米医学。我们将促进跨学科研究的文化 在指定的成像小时。我们的T32使我们能够增加妇女的招聘和不足的招聘 代表少数民族。通常，它有助于使研究生的成本效益 文档并确保在迫切需要的这一领域培训国内博士学位。在不到九年的时间内，我们的T32计划 已经成功培训了几位毕业生，所有毕业生都具有示例性的培训记录和轨迹 走向成功。其他受训者正在通过该计划，重点是令人兴奋的跨学科成像 研究并具有出色的研究生产力。
