[Comp-neuro] IMA Maths of Medical Devices

IMA Conference on

Mathematics of Medical Devices and Surgical Procedures

17 – 19 September 2012                                 University College London

 

CALL FOR PAPERS

Mathematics is playing an ever increasing role in the area of health and medicine, through the use of modelling, statistics, and virtual simulations. These mathematical tools are becoming invaluable in testing the feasibility of surgical procedures and medical devices prior to clinical trials. Furthermore, there is a very realistic possibility over the next twenty years that computer models coupled to patient-specific imaging will be used in real time in the clinical environment to directly advise on treatment strategies. The aim of this conference is to bring together the diverse community of mathematicians, engineers, physicists, clinicians involved in using applied sciences and mathematics to develop and use medical devices to discuss both the latest research and the needs of the clinical community and patients.

 

The topics that will be discussed will broadly include cardiovascular devices, medical imaging, ophthalmology, cell biology, disease transmission, orthopaedic, advanced simulations, as well as health in ageing. The conference programme will include keynote speakers drawn from both clinical and mathematical communities, along with contributed presentations and poster sessions. The programme will also include breakout sessions in certain topics as well as refreshment breaks for informal discussions.  Social events include a drinks reception and a conference dinner.

 

Confirmed Invited Speakers:

Professor Mark Emberton (University College London)

Professor Rod Hose (University of Sheffield, UK)

Professor Harry van Lenthe (KU Leuven)

Professor Philip Luthert (University College London)
