DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): A multidisciplinary predoctoral training program in biomedical imaging and spectroscopy (BMIS) is proposed. The BMIS program will provide a unique educational experience based on a solid fundamental training in the mathematical and engineering principles of image science combined with a focus on and exposure to a broad range of biological applications. This program will draw on the existing strength of faculty and research programs in biomedical imaging and spectroscopy at the University of Arizona. Areas of emphasis include magnetic resonance imaging, magnetic resonance spectroscopy, gamma-ray imaging, x-ray imaging, optical spectroscopy, optical imaging, image processing, and image quality assessment. A specialized curriculum is proposed for students during the first two years that will involve courses in applied physiology, biology, the mathematical principles of image science, as well as the physics and engineering principles at the foundation of modern imaging and spectroscopic systems. These courses will provide students with the knowledge base necessary to carry out advanced research on the development and utilization of advanced biomedical imaging and spectroscopic technologies. In addition to the course work, students enrolled in the program will be required to complete semester-long rotations in three different research laboratories prior to selecting a laboratory and mentor for their Ph.D. dissertation work. These rotations will provide students with exposure to multiple disciplines and research environments and will help create and foster increased collaboration among researchers at the University of Arizona. Students will be recruited into BMIS through existing graduate-level education programs at the University of Arizona. The primary conduits for recruiting students will be through the graduate programs in Optical Sciences, Biomedical Engineering, and Physiological Sciences, although outstanding students from other programs such as Electrical and Computer Engineering, Physics, Chemistry, Cancer Biology, and/or Biochemistry will be eligible to participate. Program funds will be used to fully support students during their first three years. Third year students will be required to serve as student mentors to individuals entering the program.

描述（由申请人提供）：提出了生物医学成像和光谱学（BMIS）多学科博士前培训计划。 BMIS 项目将提供独特的教育体验，其基础是图像科学的数学和工程原理方面的扎实基础培训，并结合对广泛的生物应用的关注和接触。该计划将利用亚利桑那大学生物医学成像和光谱学方面现有的师资力量和研究项目。重点领域包括磁共振成像、磁共振波谱、伽马射线成像、X 射线成像、光谱、光学成像、图像处理和图像质量评估。为学生在头两年开设专门课程，其中包括应用生理学、生物学、图像科学的数学原理以及现代成像和光谱系统基础的物理和工程原理。这些课程将为学生提供进行先进生物医学成像和光谱技术的开发和利用的高级研究所需的知识基础。除了课程作业外，参加该项目的学生还需要在三个不同的研究实验室完成为期一个学期的轮换，然后才能为他们的博士学位选择实验室和导师。论文工作。这些轮换将为学生提供接触多个学科和研究环境的机会，并将有助于建立和促进亚利桑那大学研究人员之间加强合作。学生将通过亚利桑那大学现有的研究生教育项目被招募到 BMIS。招收学生的主要渠道将是通过光学科学、生物医学工程和生理科学的研究生课程，尽管电气和计算机工程、物理、化学、癌症生物学和/或生物化学等其他课程的优秀学生也将有资格获得资格。参加。项目资金将用于全力支持学生的前三年。三年级学生将被要求担任进入该项目的个人的学生导师。
