Current graduate programs at Lakehead University, University of Waterloo and University of Saskatchewan train highly qualified personnel in individual science and engineering departments, but the ability of these Universities to provide fully rounded training in "Health and related life science and technologies" is however limited. The purpose of the proposed collaborative training program is to consolidate medical imaging-related science and engineering research at these separate institutions into a unified and complete program covering Medical Imaging Techniques and Technologies -an area which is underrepresented in existing Medical Imaging programs in Canada. The uniqueness of our program is in extended collaboration with Canadian companies (start-ups, medium-and large-size) specializing in development and fabrication of Medical Imaging Devises and Technologies as well as in full integration of the training into the working of a Thunder Bay Regional Health Care Centre. This will allow trainees to learn how to bring promising technology to the point where it can fulfill its innovation potential and to understand how new technology can positively affect significant human health problems. Our mission and objectives are:1. To provide for the development of innovative imaging techniques and technologies to detect disease, understand disease progression, develop minimally-invasive treatment, and validate treatment effectiveness to the benefit of Canadian healthcare and the life science industry.2. To create the next generation of scientists and medical imaging researchers equipped with exceptional technical skills and an understanding of the path from an unmet patient need to the development of a commercial product. Over the life of the grant, the program will train 21 Master degree students, 12 Doctoral students, 7 undergraduate summer students and 5 post-doctoral fellows.

湖首大学、滑铁卢大学和萨斯喀彻温大学目前的研究生课程在各个科学和工程系培养高素质人才，但这些大学提供“健康及相关生命科学和技术”全面培训的能力却有限。拟议的合作培训计划的目的是将这些独立机构的医学影像相关科学和工程研究整合为一个统一且完整的计划，涵盖医学影像技术和技术——该领域在加拿大现有的医学影像计划中代表性不足。我们项目的独特之处在于与专门从事医学成像设备和技术开发和制造的加拿大公司（初创企业、中型和大型企业）的广泛合作，以及将培训完全融入 Thunder 的工作中。湾地区医疗保健中心。这将使学员能够学习如何将有前景的技术发挥其创新潜力，并了解新技术如何对重大的人类健康问题产生积极影响。我们的使命和目标是： 1．提供创新成像技术和技术的开发，以检测疾病、了解疾病进展、开发微创治疗并验证治疗效果，以造福加拿大医疗保健和生命科学行业。2。培养下一代科学家和医学影像研究人员，使其具备卓越的技术技能，并了解从未满足的患者需求到开发商业产品的路径。在资助期限内，该项目将培养21名硕士生、12名博士生、7名本科生暑期生和5名博士后。
