Imaging Informatics is an emerging and fast-evolving field that encompasses the management of information during all steps of the imaging value chain. With many information technology tools being essential to the radiologists' day-to-day work, there is an increasing need for qualified professionals with clinical background, technology expertise, and leadership skills. To answer this, we describe our experience in the development and implementation of an Integrated Imaging Informatics Track (I3T) for radiology residents at our institution.
The I3T was created by a resident-driven initiative funded by an intradepartmental resident grant. Its curriculum is delivered through a combination of monthly small group discussions, operational meetings, recommended readings, lectures, and early exposure to the National Imaging Informatics Course. The track is steered and managed by the I3T Committee, including trainees and faculty advisors. Up to two first-year residents are selected annually based on their curriculum vitae and an interest application. Successful completion of the program requires submission of a capstone project and at least one academic deliverable (national meeting presentation, poster, exhibit, manuscript and/or grant).
In our three-year experience, the seven I3T radiology residents have reported a total of 58 scholarly activities related to Imaging Informatics. I3T residents have assumed leadership roles within our organization and nationally. All residents have successfully carried out their clinical responsibilities.

影像信息学是一个新兴且快速发展的领域，涵盖了影像学价值链各个环节的信息管理。由于许多信息技术工具对放射科医生的日常工作至关重要，因此越来越需要具备临床背景、技术专长和领导能力的合格专业人员。为了满足这一需求，我们介绍了在我们机构为放射科住院医师开发和实施综合影像信息学轨道（I3T）的经验。
I3T 是由住院医师主导的倡议创建的，由内部住院医师拨款资助。其课程通过每月小组讨论、运营会议、推荐阅读、讲座以及早期接触国家影像信息学课程的方式来提供。该轨道由 I3T 委员会（包括住院医师和教员顾问）指导和管理。每年根据他们的简历和兴趣申请选择最多两名第一年住院医师。成功完成该计划需要提交一篇专题论文和至少一份学术成果（国家会议演讲、海报、展览、手稿和/或资助）。
在我们的三年经验中，七名 I3T 放射科住院医师共报告了 58 项与影像信息学相关的学术活动。I3T 住院医师在我们的组织和全国范围内担任领导职务。所有住院医师都成功地履行了他们的临床职责。
