Introduction

The tenth International Conference on Modelling and Measurement in Medicine and Biology is a well established and recognised forum for dissemination of the latest research and applications in these important fields.

Advances in medical and biological technology are transforming medical care and treatment; in great part this is the result of the interaction and collaboration between medical sciences and engineering. This has resulted in substantial progress in health care and in the quality of life of the population.

Computer models in particular have been increasingly successful in simulating biological phenomena. These are lending support to many applications, including cardiovascular systems, the study of orthopaedics, biomechanics and electrical simulation amongst others.

The conference topics cover a broad spectrum including the simulation of biomedical problems, ranging from cardiovascular modelling to virtual reality and simulation in surgery.

The conference will also discuss the interaction and complementing aspects of computational methods and measurements, the main consideration and importance being their advantageous integration.

This important conference started in Southampton in 1991, followed by a meeting in Bath (1993) and others in Milano (1995), Aquasparta (1997), Ljubljana (2003), Bologna (2005), the New Forest (2007), Crete (2009) and Riga (2011). The papers presented at these meetings are permanently archived in the Wessex Institute eLibrary (http://library.witpress.com) where they are immediately and easily accessible to the international scientific community.

 Who Should Attend

The meeting aims to bring together medical and physical scientists and engineers who are interested in the latest developments on simulations in medicine. It will also be relevant to professionals working in medical enterprises who are actively involved in this field.
