It is the aim of the conference to reconstruct methods of diagnostic knowledge and their social, anthropological and technological origins and future implications. Among the topics to be discussed are:
* the production of knowledge using imaging techniques, and the commensurability of that knowledge across imaging modalities;
* experimental systems and the role of data and data collection for medical diagnosis and communication;
* the role of formal ontologies in representation and communication with medical images;
* norms of health and disease and the understanding of body (and mind) as they are shaped by imaging technologies;
* the interdependence of technology, medicine, economics and engineering.
This wide-ranging conference will include plenary lectures from eminent scholars in the field, panel seminars, author-meets-critics sessions, outreach activities, and social receptions.

Programme and Schedule You can combine search terms with and, or and/or not, e.g. Philo not logy.
You can use brackets to separate combinations from each other, e.g. (Philo not logy) or (Psycho and logy).
Coherent groups of words will be located as complete phrases if you put them into quotation marks, e.g. “Federal Republic of Germany”.
You can also use the advanced search without entering search terms. It will then follow the criteria you have selected (e.g. country or subject area).
If you have not selected any criteria in a given category, the entire category will be searched (e.g. all subject areas or all countries).
