A Position Paper from the SCAR TRIP™ Subcommittee of the SCAR Research and Development Committee: 

Transforming Medical Imaging: The First SCAR TRIP™ Conference


The TRIP™ Conference and Workshop received partial financial support from the National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering, NIH
The Society for Computer Applications in Radiology (SCAR) invites you to attend the TRIP™ Conference and Workshop, “Transforming Medical Imaging”.  SCAR is sponsoring this scientific meeting to spearhead research, education and discovery of innovative solutions to the problem of healthcare information and image data overload. 

The overall objectives are as follows:

  • Identify opportunities for improving the efficiency of interpretation of large data sets in clinical practice

  • Identify methods to facilitate coordinated interdisciplinary imaging research

  • Prepare for the changes that will result in image interpretation and management

  • Choose promising areas for future research

Join us for this two-day workshop and explore effective ways to better understand the issues and to facilitate exchange of ideas between researchers and end-user clinicians, between researchers and industry partners, and between scientists in and outside of medicine who struggle with similar issues in their use of image data.  Intended participants include radiologists and other physicians, biomedical engineers, biomedical imaging scientists, computer scientists, imaging informatics scientists, imaging physicists, information technology professionals, medical imaging industry personnel, and any other students or professionals interested in the problem of very large medical image data sets.
The meeting will include invited speakers on selected topics, focused breakout groups, and discussion with top-level industry executives, innovation leaders and clinicians. Plenary Sessions of invited speakers will include experts from areas outside of medicine discussing their approaches to dealing with large image data sets, followed by invited speakers in the key topic areas listed below.  These will be followed by Break-Out Discussion Sessions and supplemented by a Poster Session of abstracts submitted by attendees.
We hope that you will be able to join us for this significant and exciting meeting.
