Conference entitled "Future Directions for Lasers in Medicine and Surgery III"

该奖项将为工程基金会组织的关于“激光在医学和外科中的未来方向”的会议提供部分支持。会议将于1993年2月下旬举行，工程师、科学家、临床医生以及工业和联邦机构的代表将参加会议。会议将审查该领域的现状，确定需要进行应用研究和发展努力的领域以及需要进行基础技术研究的问题。本次会议将涵盖的演讲和讨论领域本质上是跨学科的，并具体到生物医学重点领域。专业协会的定期会议不太可能有参加本次会议的所有社区的参与。这次会议将刺激生物医学工程师在与医学激光相关的重要领域进行研究。本次会议的结果将由工程基金会撰写和分发。

This award will provide partial support for a conference, organized by the Engineering Foundation, on the "Future Directions for Lasers in Medicine and Surgery". The conference will be held in late February, 1993 and will bring together engineers, scientists, clinicians, and representatives from industry and federal agencies. The conference will review the status of the field, identify those areas where applied research and developmental efforts are needed and those problems where fundamental technological research is warranted. The areas of presentation and discussion that will be covered in this conference are interdisciplinary in nature and specific to the biomedical focus area. Regular meetings of professional societies are unlikely to have participation from all the communities that will attend this conference. This conference should stimulate research by biomedical engineers into important areas associated with lasers in medicine. The results of this conference will be written and distributed by the Engineering Foundation.
