Dear Colleagues,

On behalf of the organizing committee, it is a great pleasure for me to invite you to the 9th Congress of the International Society for Musculoskeletal Ultrasonography that will be held between the dates 8 and 11 October 2008 in Titanic Hotel, Antalya, Turkey. Besides the format of the previous congresses will be followed, there will also be a pre-congress "Infantile Hip Ultrasonography Course" that will be instructed by Professor Reinhard Graf between the dates 6 and 8 October 2008, in congress venue.

Antalya is located at the south coast of Turkey and named as the "pearl of the Mediterranean Sea". It is an important tourism and congress area. Antalya is an old city and there are a lot of ancient places to visit in and around the downtown. It is a real Turkish riviera and has an excellent coast of nearly 250 km long. The congress venue is the Titanic Hotel which has a main building resembling the famous Titanic transatlantic. It is located at seaside and has an excellent beach.

We have been trying to organize a high quality scientific programme and an unforgettable social programme and we believe that both the congress delegates and accompanying persons from all continents will return their homes with a lot of new knowledge and unforgettable memories.

We hope to see you in Antalya in October 2008.
