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

0226764McIntire第二届IEEE医学与生物工程学会（EMBS）和生物医学工程学会（BMES）联合会议于2002年10月23日至26日在德克萨斯州休斯顿举行。会议的技术计划包括生物医学光学，磁共振成像和太赫兹生物成像和生物传感应用的3个小型研讨会。正在提供资金，以支持8名年轻的研究人员参加，他们将在特别小型研讨会上就生物医学光学新技术，磁共振成像的最新进展以及太赫兹生物成像和生物传感等主题进行30分钟的专题演讲。 3个小型研讨会的智力价值很高：选择讨论的主题代表了生物医学光学和成像研究的新领域，并将由各自领域最前沿的新研究人员进行描述。小型研讨会将大大提高联席会议的科学质量，联席会议目前是全球生物工程师最大的专业论坛。所提供的信息将在生物传感器，BioMEMS，医学成像领域以及依赖于这些新兴技术的应用研究领域产生广泛的影响。每个获得支持的人都将在会议上提交一份报告，概述他们令人兴奋的新发现和科学经验。

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.
