日本医用电子和生物工程学会第十九届年会于1980年5月8～10日在日本冈山举行。会议期间,除冈山大学等单位举办了小型学术展览外,日本电子机械工业会医用电子机器业务委员会还配合年会组织了日本21家生产医用电子仪器的工厂,进行了专题的新产品展览。其中有不少首次公开展示的开发性研制成果。在年会上宣读的论文达440篇,(出席人数近1200人)比上届ME年会论文数增长了近51％,可以算是一次盛会。从年会报告与展览内容能够看出,日本ME无论在科学研究与工业生产方面,1979—1980这一年度,确又取得了明显的进展。日本是目前世界上ME学科取得全面成就的先进国家之一,仅次于美国。学术活动十分活跃。近若干年来,日本与ME直接有关的全国性学术会议每年有 The 19th Japan Medical Electronics and Bioengineering Society was held in Okayama, Japan on May 8-10, 1980. During the conference, in addition to the small academic exhibition held by Okayama University and other units, the Japanese Electromechanical Industry Association Medical Electronic Machinery Business Committee also organized with Japan's 21 factories producing medical electronic devices and conducted new product exhibitions on the topic. There are many of the first open development of research and development results. 440 papers were presented at the annual meeting (nearly 1,200 attendants), an increase of nearly 51% over the number of papers published at the previous ME annual meeting, which can be regarded as a grand occasion. As can be seen from the annual report and the contents of the exhibition, no matter in scientific research and industrial production, ME in Japan did make significant progress in 1979-1980. Japan is currently one of the advanced countries in the world that has made comprehensive achievements in ME discipline, second only to the United States. Academic activities are very active. In recent years, there have been annual national academic conferences directly related to ME in Japan
