I'm sorry, Martin, but I posted individually to each involved group.
If you had bothered to check news.groups, you would have seen my posting.
Also, If you had followed this group, you would also have seen that
I posted the original proposal for the group quite some time ago,
and I just posted the voting results, both of which discuss the 
fact that imaging applications are a major part of medical physics. I wish
I could bring that out better in the name, but medical physics just happens
to be the field that covers medical imaging applications.  Up until now,
the only available forums for discussing medical imaging applications have
been sci.med, comp.graphics, comp.ai.vision, and sci.physics, with no strong
pool in any of them on the merger of information necessary for the applications.


I would be very careful in the future to call anything NONSENSE without taking
the small effort to see if it reallly IS nonsense!
