Dear Colleagues,

On behalf of the Lebanese Society of Radiology and the Pbn Arab Neuroradiology Society we are pleased to invite you to participate to the joint scientific meeting which will be held at the Mdvenpick Hotel in Beirut from 16 to 18 September 2004.

At this regional meeting distinguished European and Middle Eastern speakers will cover recent advances in Cardiac Imaging, Emergency Radiology, Pediatric and Oncologic Imaging, Diagnostic and Interventional Neurorodiology and Functional Neuroimaging. The scientific program includes satellite symposia, plenary sessions, categorical courses, smoll group workshops, oral presentations, large scientific and technical exhibitions showing the latest advances in Biotechnology.

The conference will provide a unique opportunity for us to bring together Radiologists, Neuroradiologists and Neuroscientists as well as Radiation workers from all Arabic and North African countries, in order to discuss the foundation of the Pon Arab Association of Radiological Societies.

The venue is a beautiful sea resort located in the heart of Beirut; a city with many touristic and cultural attractions

We are looking forward to welcome you in Beirut. Sincerely,
