World Congress on Medical Physics and Biomedical Engineering 2006 in Seoul

Dear Colleagues,

I'm pleased to announce that the
World Congress on Medical Physics and Biomedical Engineering 2006 (WC2006) will be held on August 27 to September 1, 2006 in Seoul, Korea. under the Congress Theme: Imaging the Future Medicine. The scientific program will include plenary lectures, sponsored symposia, regular oral and poster sessions.
The Second Announcement, which includes: detailed information on registration procedure, (fees, hotel accommodation, travel information, scientific and social programs), call for papers, as well as registration forms (abstract submission and hotel accommodation) is available via
www.wc2006-seoul.org.
During the congress the scientific track of Artificial Organs will be organized. In order to secure high scientific level of our discipline some of our distinguish colleagues from the ESAO agreed to chair the sessions, that is: Prof. Horst Klinkmann (session: adsorption, apheresis, detoxification), Dr Gerhard Rakhorst (session: cardiac assist devices and cardiovascular implants and prosthesis), and Prof. Dieter Falkenhagen (session: cell implants interactions - biocompatibility). Additionally I have asked to organize some sessions by our colleagues from Japan and USA: Prof. K. Imachi (session: artificial heart), Prof. Yoshida (orthopedic and dental prosthesis and implants) and Prof. D. Klonoff (session: artificial pancreas).
The deadline for abstract submission is 28th of February. I would like to cordially invite you to prepare abstracts as well as to stimulate other researchers to submit appropriate contributions. Think about supporting Artificial Organs scientific track on the biggest congress organized in the field of biomedical engineering and medical physics.

With best regards
Prof. Jan Maria Wojcicki
Cochairman of the track Artificial Organs
