European Conferences on Biomedical Optics (ECBO)

12 - 16 May 2013
Messe Munchen, Munich, Germany

Sponsored by OSA and SPIE, the European Conferences on Biomedical Optics (ECBO) bring together scientists, engineers, and clinicians who work with optics and photonics to solve problems in medicine and biomedicine. Presentations will cover basic science, novel technology and applications in the areas of advanced microscopy, clinical and biomedical spectroscopy, diffuse optical imaging, molecular imaging, optical coherence tomography and other coherence techniques, therapeutic laser applications, laser-tissue interactions, opto-acoustic methods, and other novel biophotonics techniques. The conference will feature a Best Student Paper Award and a Best Poster Presentation Award.

ECBO 2013 is being held in conjunction with HNODS (Head and Neck Optical Diagnostics Society). For more information on HNODS, please visit www.hnods.org.

ECBO is part of the World of Photonics 2013 Congress.
