2008 IGT Project Week
Introduction
Dates: Monday, December 8th to Friday, December 12th
Location: SPL facility at 1249 Boylston Street, Boston MA
IGT Project Week is a hands on activity involving all types of activities that are involved in building image-guided therapy systems. 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.
About a month before the event, a teleconference will be held with all interested participants to determine 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.
