It will foster scientific activities related to diagnoses of diseases of pulmonary parenchyma, great vessel of thorax, mediastinal diseases and diseases of the heart. The conference will stimulate exchange of information among scientists and clinical specialists. We are delighted to announce a programme that will cover the whole range of the above mentioned topics. The meeting will feature basic and advanced postgraduate courses, delivered by renowned and outstanding speakers from Europe and distinguished colleagues from the USA. Selected proffered papers will provide an overview of the current trends in research. The technical exhibit will provide up to date overview of the state of art of different imaging modalities and their latest technical developments. Besides all this, we invite you to see old friends and meet new colleagues in the historic atmosphere of Prague, a great city of charm and culture. I am looking forward to meeting you at the 14th ESTI Annual Meeting in Prague!
