    Nice, French Riviera (France) September 14-19, 1997
    ------------------------------------------------------------
    18th International Conference on Medical
    and Biological Engineering
    11th International Conference on Medical Physics

    VENUE
    -----
    The World Congress on Medical Physics and Biomedical Engineering
    will be held in NICE (FRANCE), the pearl of the COTE d'AZUR.
    The Congress Center - ACROPOLIS - is located in the heart of the
    city, in a walking distance from all major hotels and from the

    Future World Congress : CHICAGO-2000.

    ORGANIZED BY
    ------------
    SEE - Societe des Electriciens et des Electroniciens (France)
    SFPH - Societe Francaise des Physiciens d'Hopital (France)

    SPONSORING ORGANISATIONS
    ------------------------
    IUPESM - International Union for Physical
    and Engineering Sciences in Medicine
    IFMBE - International Federation for Medical
    and Biological Engineering
    IOMP - International Organization for Medical Physics

    in cooperation with :

    EUROPEAN SOCIETY for ENGINEERING and MEDICINE (ESEM)
    ALLIANCE pour le GENIE BIOMEDICAL (AGBM, France)
    SOCIETE de BIOMECANIQUE (France)
    AMERICAN INSTITUTE for MEDICAL and BIOLOGICAL ENGINEERING (AIMBE)

    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
    topics and focused workshops, as well as oral and poster
    sessions n biomedical engineering and in medical physics.
