Dear Colleagues and Friends,

The 10^th International Meeting on Fully Three-Dimensional Image Reconstruction in Radiology and Nuclear Medicine will be held in Beijing, China in September 5-10, 2009. This meeting is to provide an opportunity for sharing the latest scientific advances and to promote and foster international scientific exchanges of fully three-dimensional image reconstruction in radiology and nuclear medicine in a small and intimate setting and presentation format that allows in-depth discussion.

In addition to traditional in-depth discussion on state-of-the-art research issues on advanced theory, implementation and evaluation of multi-dimensional image reconstruction methods through oral and poster presentations, we plan to offer short courses on the fundamentals of multi-dimensional image reconstruction algorithms and methods and workshops on high-speed computing techniques and other topics.

China is a fast developing country with both ancient cultural heritages and modern achievements. Beijing, the capital of China, is the country's political, cultural and international exchange center, and is famous for its unique cultural fascination. With the benefit of 2008 Olympic Games, Beijing will be more attractive as its 3000-year cultural history mingles happily with today's vigorous metropolitan prosperity. The splendid Great Wall, majestic Forbidden City, spectacular Summer Palace, together with exquisite Bird??s Nest, amazing Water Cube and fascinating National Olympic Forest Park will surely stand out in the memory of every participant.

On behalf of the organization committee, we look forward to welcoming you to Beijing and Fully3D 2009 Meeting.
