Abstract

Promising Directions in Imaging, Therapy Planning and Inverse Problems
November 3-9, 2008, The Huangguoshu National Park of China, Guizhou

General Information

The Huangguoshu International Interdisciplinary Conference on Biomedical Mathematics- Promising Directions in Imaging, Therapy Planning and Inverse Problems will be held November 3-9, 2008 at the Huangguoshu National Park of China, Guizhou, China. The conference will be of an interdisciplinary nature and bring together scientists from several fields of knowledge. The cross-fertilization that will be achieved in this way will contribute to new ideas, methods, and techniques for the solution of important real-world problems in biomedical imaging, intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) and related areas.

We cordially invite researchers from either academy or industry and graduate students in the fields of biomedical imaging, IMRT, optimization, physics, medicine, biology and adjacent fields to participate in the conference.
