International Conference on Diagnostic
Imaging and Analysis
August 18-20, 2002
Shanghai, China
CALL FOR PAPERS
Diagnostic imaging with its computer analysis is an emerging interdisciplinary field involving radiology, surgery,
engineering, informatics and healthcare management, among others. The ICDIA provides an ideal and unique
opportunity for scientists, engineers, radiologists and clinicians to exchange the most up-to-date ideas, methods,
and technologies on research, development and clinical practices in the field of fighting against diseases,
especially cancers. The conference emphasizes on the topics of how to integrate the efforts from both
scientific/engineering and medical/clinical societies to achieve early screening, detection, diagnosis, and
treatment of cancers.
