NIBIB Workshop on Defining the State-of-the-Art in Biomedical Imaging: Research Needs for the Future
March 16-17, 2003
University of Mississippi Medical Center
Jackson, Mississippi
A "Workshop on Defining the State-of-the-Art in Biomedical Imaging: Research Needs for the Future" was conducted by the National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering (NIBIB) on March 16-17, 2003 at the University of Mississippi Medical Center in Jackson, Mississippi. The objective of the workshop was to identify problems and associated research needs that should be addressed to maximize the impact of biomedical imaging on healthcare. This information will be used as scientific community input by the NIBIB to evaluate and develop its research programs.
The workshop program consisted of plenary presentations aimed at providing overviews of imaging research in general, clinical needs, research needs, and multi-disciplinary approaches to research; five topical sessions which addressed different components of biomedical imaging (sensors and sources, targeted agents, data reconstruction, data evaluation, and emerging technologies and applications); and a closing presentation on the future of biomedical imaging research.
Approximately fifty (50) people participated in this workshop including extramural biomedical imaging researchers and clinicians, representatives of federal agencies and technical societies, investigators from local universities, and NIBIB program staff. General chairs of the workshop were Dr's. Harrison Barrett (University of Arizona) and Kirby Vosburgh (CIMIT). Workshop coordinators were Dr. Richard Swaja (NIBIB) and David Dzielak (UMMC).
