political situation, the meeting was attended by 96 participants (77 Egyptians
& 19 expatriates). As usual, our guests from outside Egypt were variable with 1

Our greatest satisfaction comes from the enthusiastic participation of such a
large proportion of the nuclear medicine community with their fruitful
discussions. It is also very gratifying to receive so many nice comments from
the attendees after their return to their homes, as exemplified by the following
comments: The congress was really outstanding. The site was very nice with superb
service. The scientific and educational program was really interesting.
Prof. R. Baum (Germany).
I enjoyed the meeting very much. The chosen speakers were great. The local
presentation involved great ideas.
Prof. A.H. El-Gazzar (Kuwait).
In this connection, I wish to record our thanks to everyone who helped in
making this meeting succeed. Definitely we cannot overlook the roles of the
board of directors, the organizing committee and the secretarial group, as well
as Intertours who handled the needed reservations and travel arrangements.
Similarly, we cannot deny the donations offered by the banks specially our
