This volume consists of the papers presented at the 6th International Workshop on Scattering Theory and Biomedical Engineering. Organized every two years, this workshop provides an overview of the hot topics in scattering theory and biomedical technology, and brings together young researchers and senior scientists, creating a forum for the exchange of new scientific ideas. At the sixth meeting, all the invited speakers, who are recognized as being eminent in their field and, more important, as being stimulating speakers, presented their latest achievements.
