Over the past three decades, the exploding number of new technologies and applications introduced in medical practice, often powered by advances in biosignal processing and biomedical imaging, created an amazing account of new possibilities for diagnosis and therapy, but also raised major questions of appropriateness and safety. The accelerated development in this field, alongside with the promotion of electronic health care solutions, is often on the basis of an uncontrolled diffusion and use of medical technology. The emergence and use of medical devices is multiplied rapidly and today there exist more than one million different products available on the world market. Despite the fact that the rising cost of health care, partly resulting from the new emerging technological applications, forms the most serious and urgent problem for many governments today, another important concern is that of patient safety and user protection, issues that should never be compromised and expelled from the Biomedical Engineering research practice agenda.
The 26th Southern Biomedical Engineering Conference was hosted by the Fischell Department of Bioengineering and the A. James Clark School of Engineering from April 30 – May 2 2010.. The conference program consisted of 168 oral presentations and 21 poster presentations with approximately 250 registered participants of which about half were students. The sessions were designed along topical lines with student papers mixed in randomly with more senior investigators. There was a Student Competition resulting in several Best Paper and Honorable Mention awards. There were 32 technical sessions occurring in 6-7 parallel sessions. This Proceedings is a subset of the papers submitted to the conference. It includes 147 papers organized in topical areas. Many thanks go out to the paper reviewers who significantly improved the clarity of the submitted papers.

Der 12. KongreAband der Deutschen Gesellschaft fA1/4r Intraokularlinsen Implantation und refraktiven Chirurgie spiegelt auch in diesem Jahr die aktuelle Entwicklung von Wissenschaft und Forschung auf diesem Gebiet der Chirurgie wider. Die refraktive Chirurgie durchlAuft derzeit eine rasante Entwicklung. Anhand der auf dem 12. KongreA der DGII gehaltenen VortrAge wird gezeigt, wie in den Kliniken und Praxen der DGII-Mitglieder die aktuellen Techniken der Kataraktchirurgie eingesetzt werden und Erfahrungen hierA1/4ber ausgetauscht. Erste klinische Erfahrungen mit innovativen Techniken wie z.B. dem Einsatz des Waterjets oder der YAG-Laser Phakoablation werden dargestellt. Ein State of the art der Intraokularlinsen-Implantation des deutschsprachigen Raums.
