The Asian Society of Abdominal Radiology (ASAR) is a non-political,non-profit society of physi- ciaus and scientists interested in Abdominal Radiology.ACAR'2009 hosted by ASAR and the ACAR' 2009 Organizing Committee will be the place to advance the study of abdominal radiology and its associated diseases by encouraging teaching,research and further education in the subspecialty,and to encourage the harmonious interchange and integration of all Asian Radiologists with an interest in this field.An- other highlight of the congress will be a technical exhibition where you can get a glimpse of radiology innovation through direct contacts with the radiology industry.
