The NATO Advanced Study Institute (ASI) on Physics and Engineering
of Medical Imaging has addressed a subject which in the wide area
of biomedical technology is one of those which are showing greater
impact in the practice of medicine for the ability to picture both
Anatomy and Physiology. The information and accuracy obtained by
whatever imaging methodology is a complex result of a
multidisciplinary effort of several sciences such as Physics,
Engineering, Electronics, Chemistry, Medicine, etc ... Development
has occurred through work performed in different environments such
as basic and applied research laboratories, industries and clinical
centers, with the aim of achieving an efficient transfer of
know-how and technology for the improvement of both investigation
possibilities and health care. On one hand, such an effort requires
an ever-increasing committment of human and financial resources at
research and industrial level, and, on the other, it meets serious
difficulties in recruiting the necessary human expertise oriented
to this technology which breaks with the tradi tiona I academic
borders of the single disciplines. Furthermore, the scientific
community is continually dealing with the problem of increasing the
performance and, at the same time, complexity and costs of
instruments, applying more and more sophisticated technology in an
effort to meet the demand for more complete and accurate clinical
information. The scientific program of this ASI and the
qualification of the authors reveals the intrinsic complexity of
the development process of the Imaging methodologies.
