ABSTRACT
This chapter contains the final report of a state-of-the-science workshop that was held over 2 days in October 2005, and serves to disseminate the results of the event. The workshop included intermittent brief plenary presentations, with the majority of the time dedicated to three breakout sessions that addressed specific questions and had targeted goals. The participants were divided into five heterogeneous theme groups that each addressed a specific aspect of accessible medical instrumentation. Each theme group generated bullet points in each of four topical areas, which are presented here. After the event, the workshop participants voted to select the most important bullet points. These results are presented and discussed in Section 31.3. At the end of the chapter, contributions of commentary from several individual workshop participants are presented.
