Functional Imaging

and Modeling of the Heart

 

The FIMH 2009 is the Fifth International Conference on Functional Imaging and Modeling of the Heart. This biennial scientific event aims to integrate the research and development efforts in the field of cardiovascular modeling and image analysis.

The main goal is to encourage collaboration between scientists in signal and image processing, imaging, applied mathematics, biophysics, biomedical engineering and computer science, and experts in cardiology, radiology, biology and physiology.
