Home < 2008 IGT Project Week

Summary

The first IGT Hands-on Project Week, modeled after the NA-MIC Project weeks, was held during the week of December 8th, 2008 at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston. The main goal of the event was to share hands-on expertise between NCIGT and collaborators. The event was setup to maximize informal interaction between participants.

Active preparation began several weeks prior to the meeting with several group and individual email and telephone exchanges with potential participants. The event itself started with a short presentation by each project team, driven using their previously created description, and allowed all participants to be acquainted with others who are doing similar work. In the rest of the week, most of the time was spent in project teams, doing hands-on programming, MR pulse sequence development, Ultrasound data analysis, algorithm design, and technology brainstorming. To facilitate this work, several rooms were setup with internet and power access, navigation demonstrations were setup, and time was booked on MR scanners at the Brigham, to allow each time to work on their projects. On the last day of the event, a closing presentation session is held in which each project team presents a summary of what they accomplished during the week.

In this event 44 participants -- 34 from BWH and 10 external collators (from 8 institutions - Georgetown, Yale, JHU, U Michigan, Wakeforest, WPI, Kitware, and Acousticmed) -- worked collaboratively on 11 projects in image-guided therapy.

Introduction

Dates: Monday, December 8th to Friday, December 12th

Location: Monday's activities will take place in Room BC-4-004 F at the Ledge Building, located at 1 Brigham Circle, Boston MA. (Directions to this room from the entrance of 1 Brigham Circle: to get to the 4th floor conference Room BC4-004 F, take the elevator to the 4th floor. Take a right off the elevator. Go through 2 sets of doors, once you go through the second set, take a right, it is the 3rd door down on your left hand side.) Rest of the week will be at the SPL facility at 1249 Boylston Street, Boston MA (Directions) (See here for information about area hotels.)

IGT Project Week is a hands-on event that will involve various scientific, clinical, and engineering activities that are part of building image-guided therapy systems. Please note that is not a week long session of lectures and/or slide presentations. Instead, active researchers in the field will gather for a week to get actual work done on projects that they have identified ahead of time. A fair amount of effort will be put into phone calls between the hosts and the participants in the month leading upto the event to ensure that every participant belongs to a project that makes sense to be pursued in such a collaborative setting. Depending on the needs of the projects, the hosts, NCIGT at Brigham and Women's Hospital, will reserve time at appropriate research imaging and therapy equipment.

Before the event, individual phone calls/meetings will be held with confirmed participants to review the scope of the work that they will collaboratively pursue during this week. The event itself will start with short presentation by each project team to allows all participants to be acquainted with others who are doing similar work. In the rest of the week, most of the time will be spent doing hands-on programming, imaging, algorithm design, phantom or animal experiments or other validation in small project teams. Given that this is the first stand-alone IGT event of this kind, we expect to have about 5-10 teams of size 3-4 each. To facilitate this work, a conference room will be setup with several tables, with internet and power access, to allow teams to either work on their own laptops. Based on the project requirements, times will also be reserved on the research imaging equipment and therapy equipment at Brigham and Women's Hospital. On the last day of the event, a closing presentation session will be held in which each project team will present a summary of what they accomplished during the week.

This event is modeled after the NA-MIC Project Week and its main goal is to foster a hand-on image-guided therapy systems community. The first event is being organized by NCIGT and several other NIH funded grants, and the outcome at this meeting will determine the format and frequency of future events. Unfortunately, no travel support is available from NCIGT for this event; it must be sponsored by their host institution/grant.
