But I also with the atmosphere of our meetings. hope that all attendees will take advantage of Dutch hospitality and of the social events that offer a small taste of the history of Amsterdam as well as providing some food for thought. During the past two years the IS3R has implemented a number of new activities: an “Interim Meeting” was held in December 2014 in Chicago revisiting the developments in our field. This may be the start of an increasingly intense dialogue over the coming years. At the 2015 International Symposium, we, for the first time, welcome a group of young leaders, who we hope will boldly and resolutely guide our profession into a challenging but very promis- ing future. I hope that the information received in our meetings and the contacts with our members and partners from industry will spur their careers so that they may indeed play a meaningful role during the years to come. As my tenure as President of the IS3R is coming to an end, I would like to express my gratitude to all members of the Executive Board for their support and hard work. A special word of thanks goes to Hedi Hricak, our Past President, on whose wisdom I could always rely with trust and confidence. I would like to congratulate Jonathan Lewin, our incoming President, and wish him a successful term. I am convinced that under his expert and dedicated guidance the IS3R will continue to flourish as a unique platform for high-level strategic exchange in Medical Imaging. Best wishes, Gabriel Krestin, MD, PhD IS3R President 4 LEttER frOM THE PROGraM CHairs Dear Colleagues, on behalf of the Program Committee for our This year’s symposium will focus on three distinct areas: imaging and molecular therapeutics, 11th Biennial International Symposium held information technology and standards in radiology. These areas were chosen by the Program this week in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, Committee as they will likely change our specialty over the years to come. Session 1 focuses August 27–29, 2015, it is our pleasure to on “imaging in the molecular era” where molecular diagnostics and targeted therapeutics present the final program and details for the are ever more pervasive. The session also encompasses discussions on unique growth oppor- meeting. We anticipate a very thought-pro- tunities and barriers to commercialization. Session 2 focuses on clinical applications of PET voking meeting as well as lively discussion imaging technologies and their different challenges in penetrating the market while session from our usual gathering of academic, clini- 3 addresses changes and opportunities in healthcare informatics, clinical decision support cal, and industrial leaders. and next generation information technologies in radiology. Finally, session 4 focuses on di- verse restructuring efforts in and affecting radiology as well as the need for more rigorous standards. We hope that you are as excited by these topics as we are as we look forward to engaging discussions. Two keynote lectures will be presented by distinguished experts to lay the foundation for continued conversations on the future of healthcare, global changes and challenges and scientific opportunities. A hallmark of our meetings is time for panels and interactive discus- sions to facilitate the exchange of ideas. We have tailored the program to ensure that there is sufficient time after each session for these discussions. As in the past, we will prepare a summary of the meeting outcomes which will be distributed to our members. We would like to thank the entire Program Committee for its tireless efforts in organizing this year’s meeting. Together, we would also like to thank the IS3R office staff and the rest of the IS3R board for their support in preparing for the meeting.
