Abstract

The Veterans administration's Department of Medical and Surgery includes in its Graduate Engineer Training Program a special program for Biomedical Engineers. The program is intended for recent graduates in biomedical engineering and provides for the VA a means of recruiting and training biomedical engineers for employment in its medical centers nationwide. This paper discusses the structure and objectives of the program, the opportunities that exist for the trainee within the program and the results of the program since its inception in 1973, and provides an outlook on the future of the program.

NIH. Imaging institute picks up momentum.

Last week a House panel approved the creation of the National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering (NIBIE) despite pleas from top National Institutes of Health officials that such a move will balkanize research. The bipartisan proposal, which is also backed by Democratic presidential candidate Al Gore, may have enough momentum to sail through Congress by the time it adjourns early next month. Even if it falls short, NIBIE reflects the growing desire of segments of the biomedical community to have their own address on the Bethesda campus.

Time-resolved phase-space distributions for light backscattered from a disordered medium.

We demonstrate time-resolved measurement of optical phase-space distributions as a new probe for investigating the propagation of light in disordered media. Phase-space techniques measure the joint transverse position and momentum distribution of the scattered light, and are sensitive to the spatially varying phase and amplitude of the field. Using this method we investigate light backscattered from a random medium. The measurements indicate that the weakly localized component is a phase conjugate of the incident light field. A new model of backscatter, based on Wigner phase-space distributions, elucidates the spatial and angular behavior of the localized and unlocalized components.
