MediSens provides a forum for discussions between the clinical and technical community, improving imaging technologies for cancer diagnosis and treatment. The meeting gives clinicians a chance to share their perspectives and find solutions from the medical physics and engineering community. Our speakers will present on a range of sensor technologies and development requirements for high quality, reliable imaging.
Rob Ashwell examines how advances in medical imaging are aiding earlier diagnosis and robotic surgery
Ken Hanson, a medical imaging research scientist at Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL), has received the SPIE Directors’ Award in recognition of his contribution to SPIE medical imaging
