Preliminary Program - Convention Linkage, Inc.
Invitation Dear Colleagues and Friends, It is an honor and a pleasure for me to invite you to attend the upcoming 5th Asian Congress of Abdominal Radiology, ACAR 2015, that will take place in Hamamatsu, Japan, from June 19 - 21, 2015. The ACAR is Biennial Meeting of the Asian Society of Abdominal Radiology (ASAR), and has a short but successful history starting in Miyazaki, Japan, in 2007. The high quality of the educational and scientific content and the expertise of the speakers and moderators have been the clues for the success. The ACAR Program Committee members have designed a new educational program for young abdominal radiologists, and the scientific program which will provide you with the most advanced knowledge and the cutting edge in abdominal radiology. The joint meeting will be the 29th annual meeting of Japanese Society of Abdominal Radiology (JSAR) which will be organized by Professor Yasuo Takehara of Hamamatsu University School of Medicine. Annual meeting of JSAR consists of case reports of strict image-pathologic correlation joined by pathologic experts. I am sure you will enjoy it.The collaboration with JSAR will guarantee a broad and generous exchange of ideas, experiences and knowledge between speakers and participants. I invite you to be part of the most complete and up-to-date meeting on abdominal radiology in 2015, not only by attending the meeting but also by submitting papers and posters and thereby increasing the scientific content of the meeting. The young investigators travel award will be established in this ACAR 2015, which will be for who submitted abstract(s) for scientific papers or posters. The meeting venue will be City of Hamamatsu, Japan, which has a privileged position on central pacific coast. In northeast there is Mt. Fuji which is the highest mountain throughout Japan and the symbol of Japan. You can recognize this beautiful mountain in the poster of ACAR 2015. On behalf of the Organizing Committee, I promise you to prepare a memorable meeting for you all and I hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you to Hamamatsu, Japan.
