Proceedings of 1st Russian German Conference on Biomedical Engineering

This book is dedicated to contributions of the 1st Russian German Conference on Biomedical Engineering taking place in Hanover, Germany from October 23 to 26, 2013 as successor of the Russian Bavarian Conference on Biomedical Engineering. The Russian Bavarian Conference on Biomedical Engineering (RBC) was founded 2005 in Munich. Thereafter, the conference established itself as a fruitful information exchange platform for researchers from Russia and Germany working in the areas of - Systems and instrumental for therapy and diagnostics, - Biomaterials, implants and artificial organs, - Biomedical imaging and signal processing, - Micro- and nanotechnologies in biomedical engineering, as well as - Mathematical and computing methods for medical engineering. The conference location alternated equally between cities in Russia and the southern part of Germany. After the successful 8th RBC conference in Moscow the steering committee decided to broaden focus and established this new conference: the Russian German Conference (RGC) on Biomedical Engineering. The goal is to serve as meeting point for information exchange and as venue for initiating bilateral Russian German research projects within the conference's scope.
