Dear Colleagues,

It is our privilege and honor to announce our next meeting in Istanbul. On behalf of the Local Organizing Committee and Balkan Society of Radiology, we cordially invite you to BCR-2009, the 7th Balkan Congress of Radiology, in Istanbul, Turkey, from November 18 – 21, 2009. This meeting is the most important realization of the educational efforts of BSR throughout our region, and its organization in Turkey is a great source of excitement and pleasure for our fellow radiologists, both in our country and in the entire region.

Scientific program will cover all the aspects of radiology with in-depth discussions especially in hot topics of radiology. We will also arrange workshops, interactive sessions, scientific sessions besides lecture sessions. On behalf of BSR and the Local Organizing Committee, we would also like to invite you to submit your scientific papers and posters for presentation in scientific sessions and in digital poster presentation. With your help and highly valuable contribution, we are sure that the general quality of the discussions will increase tremendously.

Besides the scientific program, we hope that participants will be able to discover Istanbul, which is the economical and cultural centre of the Balkan region. It is a magical city which is truly a bridge between Europe and Asia; a bridge between cultures and a melting pot of several civilizations. You will have the chance to breathe in the cosmopolitan essence while walking through the traditional and modern streets of the city, and to explore the history of the different empires while enjoying their reflections in modernity.

Balkan Radiology congress is the most important meeting where the information exchange between our colleagues will be in the highest scientific level and nevertheless it should also be evaluated as an opportunity to strengthen the cultural and historical ties of our 2000 year old mutual history.

We and our colleagues will be very happy to see you in Turkey. Be assured that BCR 2009 will also be a great personal experience for all of you, as well as a scientific pleasure.

Let’s meet where the continents meet!
