               OVERVIEW 
            
            
  This conference aims to set the collaborative tone for a year of activities 
    on Medical Imaging by bringing together mathematicians, researchers in health 
    sciences, and health care manufacturers. A special effort will be made to 
    support the participation by graduate students and postdoctoral fellows, who 
    may then be excited to take part in the numerous educational opportunities 
    planned throughout the year. 
               
              The main goals of the conference will be to: 
            
              - Showcase some of the major recent advances in the mathematics 
                of Medical Imaging, and find ways in which these can have significant 
                impact in future clinical applications.
 
              - Bring to the attention of mathematicians interesting new problems 
                and help define mathematical structures yet to be understood.
 
              - Establish research and training interconnections with the large 
                Medical Imaging community in Ontario and British Columbia.
 
              - Establish research relationships with industrial partners interested 
                in the discovery of novel imaging techniques and instrumentation.
 
             
            The conference will include: 
             
               - Distinguished Lectures on Inverse Problems, Medical Image 
                Analysis and Patient Specific Modeling, 
                - Academia- Industry Connector Event on Mathematical Challenges 
                in Medical Imaging, 
                - Survey lectures by leading biomedical researchers from Ontario 
                and British Columbia,  
                - Special Sessions (invited and contributed talks) on recent research 
                advances,  
                - Postdoctoral Fellow/Graduate Student Research Poster Competition. 
             
            FORMAT
            There will be 4 (45-minute) plenary talks each morning. Afternoons 
              will be devoted to Special Sessions, the Connector Event and the 
              Postdoctoral Fellow/Graduate Student Research Poster Competition.
