Year 2008 is the eve of the 150th Anniversary of the Port of Yokohama. Now Japan is in an era with numerous achievements and challenges: on one hand we have achieved the world's lowest infant mortality rate, but on the other hand, our birth rate continues to decrease and postnatal depression and infant abuse increase. Also, current ongoing increase in diverse emotional and behavioral problems in children and adolescents alerts us even more to the importance of psychological well-being during infancy. The Japanese government is vigorously promoting a supportive nurturing environment for the next generation. Our theme for this congress is "Celebrating the baby : Baby in Family and Culture, " Akachan ni Kanpai ! "

4th International Workshop in Medical Imaging and Augmented Reality
Aug 1, 2008 - Aug 2, 2008,
University of Tokyo, Tokyo, Tokyo Japan

Rapid technical advances in Medical Imaging, including its growing applications to drug, gene therapy, and invasive/interventional procedures, as well as a fusional development of the protein science, imaging modalities, and nano-technological devices, have attracted significant interests in recent years. This is motivated by the clinical and basic science research requirement of obtaining more detailed physiological and pathological information of the body for establishing localized genesis and progression of diseases. Current research is also motivated by the fact that medical imaging is increasingly moving from a primarily diagnostic modality towards a therapeutic and interventional aid, driven by streamlining the diagnostic and therapeutic processes for human diseases by means of imaging modalities and robotic assisted surgery.
