Bioengineering and imaging research opportunities workshop V: summary of findings on imaging and characterizing structure and function in native and engineered tissues.

Editor's Note: Similar versions of this editorial are being published in Annals of Biomedical Engineering, Cytometry Part A: The Journal of the International Society for Analytical Cytology, and Radiology so as to reach the readership of all three journals. The full report, of which this editorial represents a summary, appears in Medical Physics. The fifth Bioengineering and Imaging Research Opportunities Workshop (BIROW V) was held January 18–19, 2008. As with previous such meetings, the purpose of BIROW V was to identify and characterize research and engineering opportunities in biomedical engineering and imaging. The topic of the BIROW V meeting was “Imaging and Characterizing Structure and Function in Native and Engineered Tissues.”
