ICMCC@WC2009
The Leading International Event on ICT in Medicine and Care
September 9-10, 2009, World Congress on Medical Physics and Biomedical Engineering 2009, München
The ICMCC Event is the annual platform of the International Council on Medical and Care Compunetics.
For the 6th consecutive year the ICMCC Event is the only international event dealing with patient-related ICT.
The inclusion in the WC2009 offered a unique opportunity to cover issues that are still relatively “unknown” to the medical physics, biomedical engineering and bioengineering community. The World Congress is the world’s leading forum for presenting the results of current scientific work as well as major innovations in health-related technologies to an international audience of more than 3,500 visitors.
