I would like to welcome you as the first chairman of the NFBI to this new website and hope that this Forum will lead to constructive and productive collaborations between the imaging experts, the related medical industries and the medical doctors and scientists. Such multidisciplinary efforts can only come to fruition if the different parties can look and act beyond their own interests.
