                     CFP: ICMB2010
==========================================================

International Conference on Medical Biometrics
28-30 June, 2010, Hong Kong
http://www4.comp.polyu.edu.hk/~icmb2010/
   
In the medical field, personal medical feature data, especially
digital images, can be referred to as medical biometrics.
Such data are produced in ever-increasing quantities and used
for diagnostics and therapy purposes. Medical biometric research
aims to use personal medical features in different formats
such as images, signals and other sources for solving medical
problems and to provide high-performance services in medical field.
Medical biometric systems integrate multidisciplinary technologies
in biology, medicine, electronics, computing, and statistics.
The importance of computer-aided diagnosis and therapy has drawn
more and more attention worldwide and laid the foundation
for the modern medicine with excellent potentials for promising
applications such as telemedicine and web-based healthcare.
ICMB 2010 has an emphasis on efficient and effective medical
biometric technologies and systems. It will provide a central forum
for researchers, engineers and vendors from different disciplines
to exchange most recent results, identify future directions
and challenges, and initiate possible collaborative research
and system development. This conference will significantly benefit
a large variety of audience from both academia and industry.
