Welcome to CARS 2008 in Barcelona
We are delighted to invite you to CARS 2008, the 22nd International Congress and Exhibition of Computer Assisted Radiology and Surgery, which will be held in Barcelona at the Hotel Constanza from June 25 to 28, 2008.
CARS distinguishes itself most clearly from other congresses in its focus on innovative solutions to image and model guided diagnosis and therapy. Fulfilling modern clinical requirements with R&D excellence is the core value provided in 66 scientific/medical sessions, workshops and tutorials of the CARS 2008 program.
Altogether, 474 lecture and poster presentations were selected from 662 submissions received from 42 countries. In addition, 90 invited presentations from international experts have been included to provide CARS attendees with latest developments on advanced methods and technologies for health care.
The outstanding international character of CARS 2008 with approximately 50 participating nations evolves from the international societies CARS, ISCAS, EuroPACS, CAD and CMI taking a leading role in the CARS 2008 program preparation.
We welcome you at CARS 2008 and invite you and your colleagues to visit and enjoy Barcelona in June 2008.
Yours sincerely,
