Welcome to the International Cancer Imaging Society (ICIS), a professional body established in order to meet the important challenges of advancing imaging in the multidisciplinary management of cancer.
The Society promotes continuing education in oncological imaging and stimulates research in the study of human tumour behaviour. ICIS brings together radiologists, nuclear medicine and other specialists with an interest in oncological imaging, for the exchange of ideas and to organise scientific meetings, multicentre research studies, and postgraduate courses within the field.
Our annual meetings are a key feature of the Society. After successful meetings in London, Paris, Sestri Levante, Amsterdam, and Dublin, we held our seventh meeting in Brugge, Belgium in October 2007 which was a great success.
The ICIS 2008 Annual Teaching Course will be held in Bath, UK, allowing the ideal combination of education, social interaction and culture. This 8th annual course of our Society aims to focus on the clinical role of imaging in patients with cancer and new techniques that will aid clinical decision-making and improve outcomes. Articles of the keynote presentations, special focus sessions and the workshops are published as special issues to our journal, Cancer Imaging, an online journal which gained Medline accreditation during 2005.
By supporting ICIS through membership, you will benefit from reduced registration fees at the annual conference and other meetings organised by the Society, as well as from online access to Cancer Imaging.
Thank you for your continuing support of ICIS, and I look forward to seeing you in Bath!
