DESCRIPTION:Dr. Atam P. Dhawan\, New Jersey Institute of Technology\nRecen
 t advances in sensor electronics\, instrumentation and computing technolog
 ies have revolutionized the field of medicine. Research in basic\, applied
  and clinical sciences have impacted the diagnosis\, and pathological unde
 rstanding of critical disease such as cancers\, cardiac failure and neurol
 ogical disorders. As the diagnostic radiology has witnessed astounding dev
 elopments of multiple medical imaging modalities such as X-ray Mammography
 \, CT\, Nuclear Medicine\, Magnetic Resonance Imaging and Ultrasound\, the
  health care has evolved into a new phase with emphasis on computerized me
 dical instrumentation and data analysis for early diagnosis\, treatment\, 
 monitoring and therapeutic intervention. This talk will first focus on cur
 rent and future trends in fast emerging biomedical technologies with high 
 potential impact in improving global healthcare. Five areas of inter-disci
 plinary biomedical research and technology development that are expected t
 o make significant impact in medicine and clinical healthcare will be disc
 ussed. However\, the complexity of human body imposes several challenges f
 or future healthcare technologies due to lack of understanding of physiolo
 gical processes and interactions among multiple biological levels from gen
 e to organ levels defining the normal and pathological behavior. Some exam
 ples of recent research in multi-modality multi-scale brain imaging\, anal
 ysis and tissue characterization will be presented along with applications
  in clinical diagnosis and management of neurological diseases and disorde
 rs.
