    OBJECTIVES
    ----------
    The wide ranging interests of people involved in Medical Physics
    and Biomedical Engineering, as well as in Cellular or in
    Clinical Engineering has led to a large spectrum of subjects
    These ranged from the molecule to organ systems, and from basic
    research through products and algorithms in development to
    clinical applications.

    The conference will provide a forum to exchange recent research
    work related to science and technology through sessions,
    workshops, tutorials, minisymposia and panel discussions.

    SCIENTIFIC CONTENT
    ------------------
    The scientific program is planned to satisfy many diverse
    interests, and will include both plenary symposia on large
