Overview for Imaging Science Ph.D.

The Ph.D. in imaging science signifies high achievement in scholarship and independent investigation in the diverse aspects of imaging science. Students contribute their fundamental body of knowledge in science and engineering that is associated with this field of study. As an imaging Ph.D. candidate, you’ll acquire the capabilities, skills, and experience to continue to expand the limits of the discipline and meet future scholarly, industrial, and government demands on the field.

Candidates for the doctoral degree must demonstrate proficiency by:

• Successfully completing course work, including a core curriculum, as defined by the student’s plan of study;
• Passing a series of examinations; and
• Completing an acceptable dissertation under the supervision of the student’s research advisor and dissertation committee.

Plan of Study

All students must complete a minimum of 60 credit hours of course work and research. The core curriculum spans and integrates a common body of knowledge essential to an understanding of imaging processes and applications. Courses are defined by the student’s study plan and must include core course sequences plus a sequence in a topical area such as remote sensing, digital image processing, color imaging, digital graphics, electro-optical imaging systems, and microlithographic imaging technologies.

Students may take a limited number of credit hours in other departments and must complete research credits including two credits of research associated with the research seminar course, Graduate Seminar.

Graduate elective courses offered by the Chester F. Carlson Center for Imaging Science (and other RIT academic departments in fields closely allied with imaging science) allow students to concentrate their studies in a range of imaging science research and imaging application areas, including electro-optical imaging, digital image processing, color science, perception and vision, electrophotography, lithography, remote sensing, medical imaging, electronic printing, and machine vision.

Advancement to Candidacy

Advancement to candidacy occurs through the following steps:

• Advisor selection
• Submission and approval of a preliminary study plan
• Passing a written qualifying exam
• Study plan revision based on the outcome of qualifying exam and adviser recommendation
• Research committee appointment
• Candidacy exam based on thesis proposal

Following the qualifying exam, faculty decide whether a student continues in the doctoral program or if the pursuit of an MS degree or other program option is more acceptable. For students who continue in the doctoral program, the student's plan of study will be revised, a research committee is appointed, candidacy/proposal exams are scheduled, and, finally, a dissertation defense is presented.

Research Committee

Prior to the candidacy exam, the student, in consultation with an advisor, must present a request to the graduate program coordinator for the appointment of a research committee. The committee is composed of at least four people: an advisor, at least one faculty member who is tenured (or tenure-track) and whose primary affiliation is the Carlson Center for Imaging Science (excluding research faculty), a person competent in the field of research who is an RIT faculty member or affiliated with industry or another university and has a doctorate degree, and the external chair. The external chair must be a tenured member of the RIT faculty who is not a faculty member of the center and who is appointed by the dean of graduate education. The committee supervises the student’s research, beginning with a review of the research proposal and concluding with the dissertation defense.

Research Proposal

The student and their research advisor select a research topic for the dissertation. Proposed research must be original and publishable. Although the topic may deal with any aspect of imaging, research is usually concentrated in an area of current interest within the center. The research proposal is presented to the student's research committee during the candidacy exam at least six months prior to the dissertation defense.

Final Examination of the Dissertation

The research advisor, on behalf of the student and the student's research committee, must notify the graduate program coordinator of the scheduling of the final examination of the dissertation by forwarding to the graduate program coordinator the title and abstract of the dissertation and the scheduled date, time, and location of the examination. The final examination of the dissertation may not be scheduled within six months of the date on which the student passed the candidacy exam (at which the thesis proposal was presented and approved).

Barring exceptional circumstances (requiring permission from the graduate program coordinator), the examination may not be scheduled sooner than four weeks after formal announcement (i.e. center-wide hallway postings and email broadcast) has been made of the dissertation title and abstract and the defense date, time, and location.

The final examination of the dissertation is open to the public and is primarily a defense of the dissertation research. The examination consists of an oral presentation by the student, followed by questions from the audience. The research committee may also elect to privately question the candidate following the presentation. The research committee will immediately notify the candidate and the graduate program coordinator of the examination result.'

All students in the program must spend at least two consecutive semesters (summer excluded) as resident full-time students to be eligible to receive the doctoral degree. If circumstances warrant, the residency requirement may be waived via petition to the graduate program coordinator, who will decide on the student’s petition in consultation with the advisor and graduate faculty. The request must be submitted at least nine months prior to the thesis defense.

Maximum Time Limit

University policy requires that doctoral programs be completed within seven years of the date of the student passing the qualifying exam. Bridge courses are excluded.

All candidates must maintain continuous enrollment during the research phase of the program. Such enrollment is not limited by the maximum number of research credits that apply to the degree. Normally, full-time students complete the course of study for the doctorate in approximately three to five years. A total of seven years is allowed to complete the degree after passing the qualifying exam.

National Labs Career Fair

Hosted by RIT’s Office of Career Services and Cooperative Education, the National Labs Career Fair is an annual event that brings representatives to campus from the United States’ federally funded research and development labs. These national labs focus on scientific discovery, clean energy development, national security, technology advancements, and more. Students are invited to attend the career fair to network with lab professionals, learn about opportunities, and interview for co-ops, internships, research positions, and full-time employment.

Graduate Research in the Department of Radiology and Medical Imaging

A wide variety of research projects leading to PhD or Masters degrees are available in the Department of Radiology and Medical Imaging. Our primary and adjunct faculty are engaged in research dedicated to the detection, diagnosis, and monitoring of disease through advancement in medical imaging technology , including the development of new instrumentation, imaging procedures and protocols, image acquisition sequences, and image analysis techniques. Imaging research is being applied in both the pre-clinical (animal imaging) and clinical (human imaging) arenas, and in both structural (anatomic) and functional (molecular) domains. A number of labs have research that is translational in nature, in which devices or methodologies developed in the laboratory are then moved to early testing in humans.

Eligibility

Students enrolled in any graduate program at UVA are eligible. Imaging students have research advisors with primary or adjunct appointments in the Department of Radiology and Medical Imaging, and receive their degrees in the discipline of the program in which they are enrolled (for example a PhD in Engineering Physics, a Masters degree in Biomedical Engineering, a PhD in Physics, or a PhD in Electrical and Computer Engineering). Degrees that have been historically well represented include Physics, Biomedical Engineering, and Engineering Physics.

Students in the imaging program have substantial flexibility in their choice of research projects and coursework. Most imaging research is by nature highly interdisciplinary, involving interactions with imaging physicists, chemists, biologists, computer scientists, radiologists, surgeons, clinicians, clinical technologists, and patients. Accordingly, in addition to the core courses required by their home department students in the program usually take courses offered by several different departments (e.g. BME, ECE, Microbiology, Immunology, and Cancer Biology) over the course of their graduate work. Face-to-face meetings with potential medical imaging research advisors ( see Research Faculty ) are strongly recommended to help ensure the best match between student interests and available research projects.

The human body is complex and fragile, at risk of developing any number of conditions like joint disease or nerve or muscle injury. As we age, body tissues break down and lose vital functions. Through studying the human body to understand how it works, biomedical scientist teams of engineers, clinicians and other scientists are at the front lines developing novel approaches to treat and prevent human illness.

The Biomedical Engineering and Physiology Track within the Ph.D. Program at Mayo Clinic Graduate School of Biomedical Science is built on a foundation of world-renowned research programs and courses with real-world relevance. Collaboration with faculty and clinicians from a wide variety of disciplines provide you with the support and guidance you need to succeed.

As a student, you’ll have several areas of emphasis to choose from:

• Biomechanics. Biomechanics involves the study of structure and function of biological systems and artificial tissue interactions using the principles of mechanics, material science and physiology. Some of the methods used include tissue scaffolding, materials testing, mechanical modeling, imaging of motion and joint mechanics. Examples of recent projects include study of fracture mechanics in aging vertebrae, measurement of passive muscle stiffness in children with cerebral palsy, modeling of cartilage regrowth and postural analysis of wheelchair users.
• Biomedical imaging. Biomedical imaging advances the design and application of imaging techniques to improve disease diagnosis and staging, as well as treatment planning, delivery and assessment. The faculty and students at Mayo work in many modalities, including magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), X-ray computed tomography (CT), ultrasound, positron emission tomography (PET), radiation therapy and molecular breast imaging, as well as image processing and visualization and imaging informatics. Relationships with industry allow access to the latest medical imaging technology before it is commercially available, and techniques developed here are often licensed by industry for use in future products.
• Molecular biophysics and biosensing. Molecular biophysics and biosensing applies principles of physics, chemistry and mathematics to study biomolecules that underlie function of cells, organs and organisms. Research interests include the structure and function of proteins and protein assemblies in live cells and model organisms with applications to ion channels, transporters, molecular motors, and biosensing technologies. Strengths in basic and translational research include monitoring single biomolecule function in real time, linking protein dynamic motions to disease phenotypes, and biophysical and computational characterization of small molecule effectors targeting protein function in models of human diseases.
• Physiology. Physiology addresses complex biological systems from molecular and cellular to tissue and organismal principles that govern their function. An assortment of novel and state-of-the-art techniques and tools are used to investigate the mechanisms of diseases and novel pathways with therapeutic potential, as well as the engineering tools necessary to develop and optimize tissue and organ regeneration. Physiology at Mayo integrates basic, clinical and translational research that builds on a strong tradition of "bench-to-bedside" and "bedside-to-bench" investigation. Studies are conducted on cell, tissue and animal models, including humans in the lab setting and even in the course of living their daily lives using innovative remote physiological monitoring tools.

The Biomedical Engineering and Physiology curriculum is designed to provide you with the knowledge and skills necessary to be successful in your research and future career. The curriculum focuses on an integrative approach to learning by applying engineering concepts in the context of physiological systems.

During the first year of study, all students complete the BMEP core curriculum designed to provide you with a firm foundation in biomedical engineering and physiology concepts. Core courses include:

• Physiology: From Cell to Organism
• Mathematics in Biomedical Engineering and Physiology
• Introduction to Medical Imaging
• Biomechanics
• Bio-instrumentation and Signal Processing
• Molecular Biophysics

You then move on to more advanced courses that are directly related to your chosen research project.

During the first year, you’ll complete small research projects in three different laboratories. These lab rotations are set up to help you select a thesis adviser based on your scientific interests and goals.

Qualifying exams consisting of both a written and oral component are completed at the end of the first year and during the second year, respectively.

After completing the curriculum and passing the qualifying exam, you’ll focus on your thesis research.

You’re encouraged to apply for external funding and to attend and present at national and international scientific meetings. Effective communication is an essential skill, and our curriculum is designed to develop and enhance both oral and written communication proficiency. You’ll have the opportunity to present in the classroom, weekly seminars, lab meetings and small group tutorials, as well as at scientific meetings.

You’ll assemble a thesis committee made up of experts from Mayo Clinic and other institutions that facilitate and guide your education and research. Reflecting the collaborative and highly interdisciplinary environment at Mayo, most thesis committees are made up of researchers and clinicians from a variety of departments.

I’ve had a number of mentors within the program, and each of them has had their own style. From daily walking chats to monthly talks over froyo, or physically dismantling and rebuilding equipment — each mentor has elevated my educational and research experiences at Mayo. My mentors have shown me that Mayo values me, and I have never felt embarrassed to come to any of them with questions or concerns.

Victoria Marks Ph.D. student, Biomedical Engineering and Physiology Track

I appreciate the freedom the graduate school endows us with. I wanted to work on microbiology and molecular biology, but coming from a quantitative background, math and engineering education was important to me. The school was supportive on this. Even though I’m a Biomedical Engineering and Physiology student, I was given the liberty to choose a lab in the Biochemistry and Molecular Biology/Clinical and Translational Science department for my thesis.

Medical Imaging

Medical imaging covers a broad scope of hardware and software development. Medical imaging research involves many different imaging modalities, and ranges from basic science to clinical applications.

Students work on highly interdisciplinary projects involving clinicians, radiologists, imaging scientists, physicists, computer scientists, and radiation oncologists. Our traditional strong hold was in ultrasound research both for clinical and scientific gain. Rochester's Center for Biomedical Ultrasound remains an active leader in this field.

The Rochester Center for Brain Imaging is home to a 3 Tesla MRI scanner dedicated for research and housed in a special location adjacent to the small bore 9.4 T research magnet.

Medical imaging developments also result from our department’s expertise in Biomedical Optics and collaborations with the Institute of Optics .

Clinical applications of medical imaging in radiation oncology include novel approaches for screening, treatment and follow-up of cancer patients. Novel 3D tumor detection approaches are being applied for lung, brain and breast screening, and for virtual colonoscopy.

Our researchers are developing visualization tools to support the analysis of vast amounts of complex clinical imaging data. Computational image analysis software is being evaluated for multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer’s, cancer and osteoporosis.
