February 4, 2010 - Eindhoven, the Netherlands (EMBS, Photonics)
winterschool on Hemodynamics by photonics
To be held on 4 February 2010 in the auditorium of building HTC34 at the High Tech Campus in Eindhoven. The winterschool is jointly organized by Hemolab, Philips Research, TUD and TU/e, in cooperation with the IEEE EMBS & IEEE Photonics Benelux Chapters.
The continuous measurement of hemodynamic parameters is essential to a variety of medical settings ranging from the general ward to intensive care units. Various non-invasive photonic technologies have found applications to hemodynamics, including laser-Doppler flowmetry, laser-Doppler perfusion imaging, reflectance spectroscopy and dynamic speckle imaging. Using photonic measurements different indicators related to blood constitutes, circulation and flow can be derived. The winterschool comprises lectures on a number of contemporary methods in Hemodynamics by Photonics.
We are pleased to announce the following preliminary program:
With this announcement we invite you to attend the winterschool. There is no fee, but we kindly ask
you to register by sending an e-mail to 
hemodynamics.by.photonics[at]gmail.com. A simple lunch will be
served for registered participants. Deadline for registration is 25 January 2010. A limited number
of participants can be welcomed; therefore we count upon your participation once the deadline has
passed. More detailed information about the program and location will follow upon registration.
