Biomedical Optics and 3D Imaging
29 April - 2 May 2012, Miami Hilton Downtown, Miami, Florida, USA
Full Technical Attendees now have an alternate way to access the digest papers at the meeting. Access the papers through Optics InfoBase using the same login email address and password provided during the meeting registration process. Access is currently limited to Biomedical Optics and Three-Dimensional Imaging Full Technical Attendees only. If you need assistance with your login information, please use the forgot password utility or "Contact Help" link.
We are excited to announce a new enhancement to the value of your registration to this year's conference! Selected sessions (including all plenary talks) from the Biomedical Optics Topical Meeting as well as the Joint BIOMED/DH Plenary will be recorded. This content is presented as audio-recording synched with the speakers' power point presentations. All registered full technical attendees will have complimentary access to the program content for a period of 60 days post conference. Recorded content will be available 24 hours following its presentation.

A general scope for the two meetings in the congress is listed below, and more detailed information (including the list of topics for consideration) for each topical meeting is available by following the meeting link.
The Biomedical Optics meeting covers the diversity of cutting edge biomedical research topics and brings together leading scientists, engineers and physicians engaged in forefront biological and medical research using optical methods. Advances in biological and drug delivery imaging, optical coherence tomography, microscopy, optical probe development, and the application of bio-optical techniques in clinical environments will be covered. Optical bio/medical imaging is now established as offering unique capabilities that compliment and in several cases exceed the capabilities of related imaging approaches such as PET and CT imaging. This optical technology is being developed for image guided surgery, imaging of bio-markers, drug delivery studies and shallow tissue imaging with research trying to extend the range to deep tissue. In multiple laboratories, optical nano-technologies are being studied for enhanced molecular probing to examine cell function as well as early disease detection and monitoring. Optical technologies also offer the promise of improved therapies for several medical problems. This meeting will present comprehensive review of the latest important advances in biomedical optical field.

This topical meeting consists of two closely interrelated topics; 3D display and digital holography. The aspect of the meeting covering digital holography provides a forum for disseminating the latest research results in the field of holographic and digital methods and its use in the solution of difficult optical imaging problems in research and field application. The other principal topic covered relates to the latest advances in the technological development of 3D display technology for research as well as commercial applications. Digital holographic topics cover recent advances in the development of holographic devices and material used therein, compressive holographic approaches, readout and holographic formation for volume storage, and uses of the technology to solve problems in laser radar and communications, phase error correction, imaging through turbidity, and tissue imaging using non-linear holographic microscopic technologies to mention a few.
Topics included in the 3D display section of the meeting illustrate advances that are leading to commercialization of this technology. The latest advances in display technology including 3D sensing, 3D visualization, stereoscopic 3D technologies, lens-less image projection, volumetric displays using holography, multiple projector displays, etc will be reviewed by well known experts in this field. This meeting as a whole provides the attendees a comprehensive picture of the state of the art in 3D display and digital holography.
