This volume of proceedings consists of the papers presented during the 8th International Workshop on Mathematical Methods in Scattering Theory and Biomedical Engineering, held in Lefkada, Greece, on 27–29 September 2007.

The book contains papers on scattering theory and biomedical engineering — two rapidly evolving fields which have a considerable impact on today's research. All the papers are state-of-the-art, have been carefully reviewed before publication and the authors are well-known in the scientific community. In addition, some papers focus more on applied mathematics, which is the solid ground for development and innovative research in scattering and biomedical engineering.
