| The 2009 IEEE Nuclear Science Symposium and Medical Imaging Conference, will be held from October 25–31 in Orlando, Florida at the beautiful Hilton Hotel in the Walt Disney World Resort. This joint meeting offers a great opportunity to exchange new knowledge and ideas in nuclear science and medical imaging with friends and colleagues from across the world. We are planning a strong program of relevant short courses, an integrated program of workshops, a Special Session on Women in Engineering, an Industrial Program (Exhibits), and an exciting and unique Companion Program that will include the NASA Space Center at Cape Kennedy and Disney World.
The final call for papers has been issued and the deadline for abstract submission was 11 May 2009. Please go to the Conference website, www.nss-mic.org/2009 for current information and hotel reservations.
Nuclear Science Symposium 25–31 October 2009: The Nuclear Science Symposium (NSS) offers an outstanding opportunity for scientists and engineers interested or actively working in the fields of nuclear science, radiation instrumentation, software development and their applications to space, accelerators, other radiation environments, and homeland security to meet and share information. Authors are invited to submit papers describing original unpublished work in a broad range of relevant topical areas. Examples include:
- Accelerators and Beam Line Instrumentation
- Analog and Digital Circuits
- Astrophysics and Space Instrumentation
- Computing and Software for Experiments
- Instrumentation for Homeland Security
- Neutron Imaging and Radiography
- New Detector Concepts and Instrumentation
- Nuclear Measurements and Monitoring Techniques
- Photodetectors and Radiation Imaging Detectors
- Trigger and Front-End Systems
For a complete list of topical areas and specific details, please visit the conference web site.
Medical Imaging Conference 25–31 October 2009: The Medical Imaging Conference (MIC) is the foremost international scientific meeting on the physics, engineering and mathematical aspects of nuclear-medicine-based imaging. The MIC reflects this through a growing emphasis in X-ray, optical and MR imaging as they relate to nuclear imaging techniques. Authors are invited to submit papers describing original and innovative contributions to the field. Examples include:
- Emission Tomography Instrumentation (PET, SPECT)
- Multi-modality Systems
- High Resolution & Animal Imaging Instrumentation and Techniques
- Intra-operative Probes & Portable Imaging Systems
- Image Reconstruction Methods
- Reconstruction Methods
- Quantitative Imaging Techniques
- X-ray Imaging & X-ray Computed Tomography
- Non-Nuclear Technologies for Molecular Imaging (CT, MR, Optical Imaging)
For a complete list of topical areas and for specific details, please visit the conference web site.
On behalf of the organizing committee and the IEEE Nuclear and Plasma Sciences Society, I encourage you to make plans now to attend this year’s Nuclear Science Symposium and Medical Imaging Conference and look forward to welcoming you to Orlando.
