Diagnostic physics imaging -- Telemedicine
Digital and medical imaging (PACS, CT, MRI and CR) -- Ultrasound
Drug delivery and pharmacokinetics -- X-ray applications

Prospective authors should submit electronically a 500-1,000 word abstract before 5th March 2001, in postscript or pdf format. The abstract should summarize the work to be presented and include the title, author(s) name(s) and affiliation(s), and identify up to two application areas; the contact author should be identified by providing his/her mail address, telephone and fax numbers and E-Mail address. Papers submitted without application areas will be placed at the discretion of the review committee.

All submitted abstracts will be considered for oral or poster presentation (according to the Scientific Committee criteria), unless clearly specified by one of the following sentences, to be included after the paper title: "Poster only" or "Oral presentation only".

The contact author will be notified of the paper acceptance, by E-Mail, by 3rd April 2001. Authors of accepted abstracts for BioEng'2001 will be requested to produce a final paper (6 pages maximum, in a format that can be downloaded from the Conference Web site), and to deliver it, in postscript or pdf format, through the Web site, until 9th May 2001. The final papers will be included in The Proceedings of BioEng'2001, available at the Conference.

The language of the Conference will be English; it will include three types of sessions: invited lectures, oral presentations (15 minutes presentation, 5 minutes discussion), and poster presentations. A restricted but specialized exhibition supports the wide range of lectures and encourages the mutual exchange of knowledge and experience between the attendees and representatives from leading companies.
