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:

9:30-10:00	Arrival & Registration
10:00-10:15	Welcome & Introduction Program
10:15-11:00	Tomas Strömberg, Linköping University	Introductory Laser Doppler Flowmetry
