The Orthotic and Prosthetic Assistance Fund, OPAF, offers the following
information in cooperation with the National Institute of Biomedical
Imaging and Bioengineering, NIBIB, as a public service announcement,
PSA, that helps to fulfill OPAF’s official representation of the fields
of orthotics and prosthetics in community and philanthropic circles.
************OPAF PSA UNDERWRITERS************
In 2004, OPAF PSAs and overall OPAF operations are made possible through
the generous support of OPAF’s annual gold sponsors, including the
American Board for Certification in Orthotics and Prosthetics, ABC
http://www.abcop.org/; American Orthotic and Prosthetic Association,
AOPA http://www.aopanet.org; Morrison & Foerster LLP

Bock Health Care http://www.ottobockus.com/. Thank you all for your
generosity and commitment to OPAF’s official representation of O&P and
chief mission: to enable individuals with physical disabilities —
especially those served by members of the U.S. O&P community — to enjoy
the rewards of personal achievement, physical fitness, and social
interaction. Learn more about OPAF at http://www.opfund.org.

Subject: SCAR Transforming the Radiological Interpretation Process
(TRIP) Conference and Workshop
The Society for Computer Applications in Radiology (SCAR) invites you to
attend the TRIP(tm) Conference and Workshop, “Transforming Medical
Imaging”, January 31 – February 1, 2005, at the Hyatt Regency in
Bethesda, Maryland. SCAR, with partial financial support from the
NIBIB, 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 two-day workshop will 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, Break-Out Discussion Sessions, and supplemented by a Poster
Session of abstracts submitted by attendees.
Abstract submissions are being accepted electronically through the
online abstract submission service or by email. Abstract topics include
Human Perception, CAD & Image Processing, Visualization, Navigation &
User Interface Design, Databases & Integration, and Evaluation of
Methodologies & Validation of Performance. The abstract submission
deadline is November 15, 2004.
For additional information about the meeting or to register, visit the
TRIP website at http://www.scarnet.net/trip/.
Complete information and online submission forms and templates for
submission of abstracts for the poster session can be found at
