We would like to cordially invite you to join the 3rd Congress of Asian Society of Cardiovascular Imaging (ASCI), which is held at the Tokyo Conference Center Shinagawa, Tokyo from June 5 to 6, 2009. Tokyo is the big city and has become the center for Japan's political, economic, and cultural activities. Tokyo Conference Center Shinagawa is locating in the center of Tokyo with modern facility dedicated to the large conference.

ASCI has been organized last year, to share the knowledge and experiences in cardiovascular imaging among Asian medical doctors and scientists. Through the past two meetings in Seoul and Singapore, it has been shown that there is tremendous increase of interests and attention to cardiovascular imaging, especially to the images with rapidly advancing MDCT and MRI.

In the past meetings of ASCI, a lot of radiologists and cardiologists have attended to the congress from various countries of Asia to discuss the updated topics. This time, it is cooperated with 69th Annual Meeting of the Japan Society of Cardiovascular Radiology (JSCVR), and we will be able to offer an exceptionally ideal environment, providing participants with much opportunity for discussion and knowledge-sharing in the field of cardiovascular imaging.

We will be very happy if you come to Japan and join the congress. We are looking forward to seeing you in Tokyo.
