Mini-symposia on New Technologies in Biomedical Optics and Recent Advances in Medical Imaging, Houston, Texas, October 23-26, 2002

IEEE医学和生物工程学会(EMBS)和生物医学工程学会(BMES)第二次联席会议于2002年10月23-26日在得克萨斯州休斯顿举行。会议的技术计划包括生物医学光学、磁共振成像以及太赫兹生物成像和生物传感应用的3个小型研讨会。将提供资金支持8名年轻研究人员参加，他们将在关于生物医学光学新技术、磁共振成像最新进展以及太赫兹生物成像和生物传感专题的小型专题专题讨论会上作30分钟专题演讲。这3个小型研讨会的学术价值很高：选择讨论的主题代表了生物医学光学和成像领域的新研究领域，并将由处于各自领域前沿的新研究人员描述。小型研讨会将大大提高联合会议的科学质量，该会议目前是世界上最大的生物工程师专业论坛。所提供的信息将在生物传感器、生物微机械系统、医学成像以及依赖这些新兴技术的应用研究领域产生广泛影响。预计每个接受支助的人都将提交一份报告，概述他们令人振奋的新发现和他们在会议上的科学经验。

0226764McIntireThe Second Joint Meeting of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society (EMBS) and the Biomedical Engineering Society (BMES) occurs in Houston, Texas, October 23-26, 2002. The technical program of the meeting includes the 3 mini-symposia of Biomedical Optics, Magnetic Resonance Imaging, and Terahertz Bioimaging and Biosensing Applications. Funding is being provided to support the participation of 8 young investigators who will give featured 30-minute presentations in the special mini-symposia on the topics New Technologies in Biomedical Optics, Recent Advancces in Magnetic Resonance Imaging, and Terahertz Bioimaging and Biosensing. The intellectual merit of the 3 mini-symposia is high: the topics chosen for discussion represent new areas of investigation in Biomedical Optics and Imaging and are to be described by new investigators at the forefront of their respective fields. The mini-symposia will add significantly to the scientific quality of the Joint Conference, which currently represents the largest professional forum for Bioengineers worldwide. The information presented will have broad impact in the fields of biosensors, BioMEMS, medical imaging, and the areas of applied research that depend on such emerging technologies. Each recipient of support is expected to submit a report outlining their exciting new findings and their scientific experiences at the Conference.
