Third International Workshop on Biomedical Imaging-Fukui 2004

Hi folks

This is my first blog post. Just finished exciting talks on Molecular Imaging given by top nuclear scientists such as Dr H. Wagner Jr, Dr MJ welch, Dr Barry Seigal, Dr Minoshima and others. The presentations of their topics were interesting as well as informative about the current trends and prospects occuring in this field.
Of particular interest was Dr Wagner's talk on "new definition of diesease" wherein he proposed the idea of future Human chip supposedly containing a patient's diesease profile (text or images)including his genome, with which a Physician can get to know the present and future status of a patient after feeding it to a computer. However the creation or validation of the data and its implementation is of a big concern unless some potential IT majors such a Google or Microsoft helps in developing such a chip.
