WORLD CONGRESS ON MEDICAL PHYSICS AND BIOMEDICAL ENGINEERING
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
Mediterranean and the old city of Nice.
Previous World Congress in the 90's : KYOTO-91, RIO-94,
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)
EUROPEAN FEDERATION of ORGANIZATIONS for MEDICAL PHYSICS (EFOMP)
EUROPEAN SOCIETY for THERAPEUTIC RADIATIONS and ONCOLOGY (ESTRO)
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.
A provisory and non exclusive list of scientific topics
includes :
Artificial intelligence
Artificial organs
Biomedical optics and lasers
Bioelectromagnetism, Biomagnetism and Bioelectricity
Biological systems modeling
Biomaterials
Biomechanics
Brachytherapy
Cellular and tissue engineering
Clinical engineering
Computers in medicine
Educational and professional aspects of MP and BME
Electrocardiology
External radiation therapy : physical and technical aspects
Health care technology assessment and economics

POSTER SESSIONS
---------------
The poster sessions will be put on a par with platform
presentation and prizes and awards will be offered
to the authors of the best poster presentations.
EXHIBIT
-------
The congress will provide the attendees with the opportunity of
examining state of the art technology (in biomedical and medical
physics instrumentation, computer hardware and software) and
establishing useful interactions with representatives of
manufacturers, vendors, publishers and potential employers.
