Dear Colleagues, 

We are honoured to be the Presidents of the SPINE RADIOLOGY (Diagnostic and Interventional) 1st JOINT MEETING OF ASSR AND ESNR to be held in July 9 – 11, 2009 in Rome, Italy.

Both the ASSR  and ESNR have long felt that a combined meeting would allow greater sharing of ideas and techniques and be interesting to a larger and more diverse audience. After several years of discussion the societies are pleased to announce their first shared endeavour.

Radiologists from around the world are invited to attend this first ever joint meeting that will feature many leading authorities in spine radiology.

The main topics will be FBSS and Post-op Pain, Tumors, Sciatica, Mimics, Vertebral Augmentation, Instability, Trauma.

As a participant at the meeting, you will have the opportunity to reach out to a broad audience interested in diagnostic and interventional spine radiology.

We hope that you will enjoy at the 1st Joint Meeting and that your interaction with your colleagues coming from many different countries will stimulate a creative exchange and will be personally rewarding.

We also believe that you enjoy your stay in Rome.
