title = "Biomedical imaging research opportunities workshop IV: A white paper",
abstract = "The Fourth Biomedical Imaging Research Opportunities Workshop (BIROW IV) was held on February 24-25, 2006, in North Bethesda, MD. The workshop focused on opportunities for research and development in four areas of imaging: imaging of rodent models; imaging in drug development; imaging of chronic metabolic disease: diabetes; and image guided intervention in the fourth dimension-time. These topics were examined by four keynote speakers in plenary sessions and then discussed in breakout sessions devoted to identifying research opportunities and challenges in the individual topics. This paper synthesizes these discussions into a strategy for future research directions in biomedical imaging.",

note = "Funding Information: The Fourth Biomedical Imaging Research Opportunities Workshop (BIROW IV) was held on February 24–25 in North Bethesda, Maryland. BIROW IV was sponsored by the Academy of Radiology Research (ARR), American Association of Physicists in Medicine (AAPM), American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering (AIMBE), Biomedical Engineering Society (BMES), and the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA). Nineteen other medical imaging societies served as participating organizations in the meeting. The purpose of BIROW IV (as of BIROWs I, II and III, which were held in 2003, 2004, and 2005) was to identify and characterize opportunities for scientific research and engineering development in biomedical imaging.
