Fourth NCIGT and NIH Image Guided Therapy Workshop Announcement
We would like to invite you to join the Fourth Image-Guided Therapy workshop sponsored by the National Center for Image Guided Therapy (NCIGT), the Neuroimage Analysis Center (NAC) and the National Institutes of Health (NIH), which will be held on October 12-13, 2011 at the Crowne Plaza National hotel, Arlington VA. The topic for this workshop is "Advanced Imaging Technologies and Methods for Image Guided Therapy" and the goal is to learn about state of the art and future trends in imaging for therapy. The chairs of this workshop are Drs. Ferenc Jolesz and Clare Tempany of Brigham and Women's Hospital and Harvard Medical School. The program for this workshop includes a single track of invited scientific talks by thought-leaders in the field, as well as a poster session based on abstract submissions. The talks will be divided into sessions that focus on imaging advances for prostate, cardiac, abdominal, and gynecological interventions, as well as on techniques for optical and thermal imaging across clinical specialities.
The overall goal of this workshop series is to asses the current needs and opportunities in the field of image-guided interventions and NCIGT’s role as a national center in relation to the greater IGT community. Similar to previous workshops in this series, we expect attendance by the members of the academia, industry, and federal agencies interested in the field of image-guided interventions.
NCIGT is a national resource center in image-guided therapy that is funded jointly by two NIH institutes: NCRR and NIBIB. In addition, funding for this conference was made possible (in part) by Grant# R13 CA 139764 from the National Cancer Institute. The views expressed in written conference materials or publications and by speakers and moderators do not necessarily reflect the official policies of the Department of Health and Human Services; nor does mention by trade names, commercial practices, or organizations imply endorsement by the U.S. Government.
Call for Poster Abstracts Prospective attendees are encouraged to submit abstracts describing their research in image-guided therapy for consideration of exhibition in the Poster Sessions of the workshop. Please note that the abstracts will be published in a workshop proceedings and made available publicly on the workshop website, so please do not submit material that is not ready for public dissemination.
Authors should organize the abstract to include Title, Author(s), Affliation(s), and four sections: Purpose, Methods, Results, and Conclusions, identified by bold headers. The character count for the Purpose, Methods, Results, and Conclusions should be 2500. Submissions may be made by sending your abstract as a single page pdf format attachment to ncigt workshop posters mailing list. Abstracts will be considered on a rolling basis starting Monday, August 29, 2011 until Monday, October 3, 2011. All submissions will be reviewed by the Program Committee of the workshop for scientific merit and program relevance. Submitting authors will be notified of the result of the abstract review within two weeks of submission, starting Tuesday September 13, 2011.
Each accepted abstract will be presented at the meeting by the author(s) using a printed poster (23"x33" Portrait format).
We are pleased to offer travel (airfare and hotel) reimbursement of upto $750 each and waiver of registration fee for select junior investigators, students, and underrepresented researchers. Selection criteria will be scientific merit of the submission, as determined by the Program Committee. To apply for this reimbursement and/or waiver, please send an email along with your submission, and we will notify you of your selection for these funds along with your acceptance decision, within 2 weeks of your submission. PLEASE NOTE THAT ACCEPTANCES WILL BE ON A ROLLING BASIS, SO PLEASE SUBMIT EARLY TO MAXIMIZE YOUR CHANCES FOR THESE FUNDS.
For questions please contact us.
