Present Your Research to the World! The World Congress 2009 on Medical Physics and Biomedical
Engineering - the triennial scientific meeting of the IUPESM - is the world's leading forum for
presenting the results of current scientific work in health-related physics and technologies to
an international audience. With more than 2 800 presentations it will be the biggest conference
in the fields of Medical Physics and Biomedical Engineering in 2009! Medical physics
biomedical engineering and bioengineering have been driving forces of innovation and progress
in medicine and healthcare over the past two decades. As new key technologies arise with
significant potential to open new options in diagnostics and therapeutics it is a
multidisciplinary task to evaluate their benefit for medicine and healthcare with respect to
the quality of performance and therapeutic output. Covering key aspects such as information and
communication technologies micro- and nanosystems optics and biotechnology the congress will
serve as an inter- and multidisciplinary platform that brings together people from basic
research R&D industry and medical application to discuss these issues. As a major event for
science medicine and technology the congress provides a comprehensive overview and in-depth
first-hand information on new developments advanced technologies and current and future
applications. With this Final Program we would like to give you an overview of the dimension of
the congress and invite you to join us in Munich! Olaf Dössel Congress President Wolfgang C.
