President of ICR 2010

Dear Colleagues,
I am pleased to invite you to participate in the 26th Iranian Congress of Radiology to be held at the Olympic Hotel, Tehran Iran, May 13-16, 2010. This will be the 26th annual scientific meeting convened by The Iranian Society of radiology; a meeting that is the most prestigious and professional Radiology meeting in Iran.
The congress has been planned around the four main themes of Urogenital imaging, cardiovascular imaging, molecular imaging and radiology education & research but besides various scientific programs in all fields of medical imaging will be presented. Urogenital imaging is my favorite subspecialty that needs to be introduced appropriately to the radiology community and our urologist collogues as well. Cardiovascular imaging is growing rapidly in Iran and now a day many radiologists are involved in cardiac CT and MR and this congress is an excellent opportunity to exchange knowledge. Molecular imaging is a high technology modality and this congress tries to introduce this field and its capabilities to the Iranian medical community. Challenges about radiology education and research in Iran as one of the main themes of the congress will also discussed in details during the congress.
The congress will include many high quality and innovative lectures presented by well respected Iranian and international speakers along with many interactive workshop sessions that provide the opportunity to practice skills.
The 2010 congress will also include many joint sessions with other medical specialists that provide a unique opportunity for inter-professional education.
The excellent social programs promises you exciting moments in enjoyable venues in Tehran, the beautiful metropolitan of Iran.

We look forward to seeing you in Tehran in 2010!

Mahyar Ghafoori , M.D.
