Finnish Society's First Medical Physics and Medical Engineering Day - Best Students Awarded
The Finnish Society arranged the first Medical Physics and Medical Engineering Day in Tampere University of Technology on 11 January 2002. The idea of the MPME Day was to offer students from various parts of Finland a get-together meeting and to promote the Society to them. Furthermore, the occasion provided a way for companies to present their job opportunities and products. The main event was a poster presentation of Master's graduate theses in the field of medical physics and engineering, completed during 2001. The works were evaluated, based on poster presentation and three best received an award (?2001 donated by Datex-Ohmeda). The members of panel were prof. Pekka Meriläinen, Chief Scientist from Datex-Ohmeda, Riina Kinnunen, president of Pollex (the student club of the Biomedical Engineering), and 5 Finnish Society's council members, prof. Hannu Eskola, prof. Jari Hyttinen, prof. Timo Jämsä, prof. Erkki Soini, and ass. prof. Jari Viik. The panel decided to give an award to the best presented work and to give two equal awards to the second best presented works. The rewarded were:
Nymark Soile, Helsinki University of Technology (1001)
Method for measuring free drug concentration in mammalian neural tissue
Noponen Tommi, Helsinki University of Technology (
Instrumentation of diffuse optical imaging in the frequency domain
Tirri Marko, Tampere University of Technology (
Molecule counting with two-photon fluorescence excitation
Thirteen Master's graduates participated in the poster competition. In total there were 135 participants from all over Finland. The abstracts of the best works are on the Finnish Society's web site, www.ee.tut.fi/~lfty/lft_paiva/abstracts.html.
