Dear Hoover,
Please post this ARVO SIG:
ARVO Meeting, Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, May 10-15, 1998
Special Interest Group Meeting #18
Scanning Laser Technology, Thursday, May 14, 2pm - 4pm, Room 305
We would like to invite everybody interested in scanning laser technology to
this special interest group meeting. This meeting will focus on the technology
used in scanning laser imaging systems in ophthalmology. A limited number of
short presentations from a group of international researchers will discuss new
imaging methods. This will be followed by an open discussion forum to include
all researchers attending. The topics covered by this SIG are clinical
application, clinical research as well as laboratory research of scanning
laser imaging. Researchers are encouraged to bring their data with them for
scientific exchange and discussion, as slides or videotape.
