Dear Members,

2018 has just begun and I wish, together with the Organizing Committee that I thank publicly for the professionalism and self-denial shown in the various stages of preparation for the Congress, to send to you all the best wishes for Happy Holidays and Happy New Year, year in which will take place on November 8-9-10-11, in the prestigious "Jean Nouvel" Blue Pavilion of the Genoa Sea Fair, the 48th National Congress of our Society. As I have already had the opportunity to remember two were the main reasons that led me to plead the Genoa office:Genovese Radiological School ".

Our school was founded with Vittorio Maragliano back in 1912 and reached its glory with Alessandro Vallebona who, speaking of the numerous awards that he was awarded (six times a candidate for the Nobel Prize for the discovery of tomography!), Had to underline that "... ... a single person could not have done what was described but it was the activity of a school to which all members contributed most often and crucially .... ". Prosecutors of the Maestro's work were Luigi Oliva, "... considered one of the fathers of the ultrasound, concretely lord, a sumptuous but discreet host who disdained the greasy affectations but in his heart was pleased with the praise and recognition because he felt that they were due to the good that his activity was bringing to the radiological world ... .. "and Giorgio Cittadini , my Maestro, to whom we owe brilliant insights in the field of gastroenterological diagnostics and genial proposals for the development of new technologies such as Magnetic Resonance (the first MRI equipment introduced into public structures in our Country was, under his direction built and installed in Genoa) as well as indisputable author of the Manual of Diagnostic Imaging and Radiotherapy on which, in its 35 years of life, generations of students and graduates have been formed.

In the following years the School has developed an intense activity both nationally and internationally, thanks above all to the contribution of numerous students, some of whom have taken up professorships and others who now hold prestigious positions of management and responsibility for structures and departments.

This is not a random theme for the Congress " RADIOLOGY: BETWEEN TECHNOLOGICAL INNOVATION AND CLINICAL EVIDENCE .... A SEA OF OPPORTUNITY ", a theme that, as underlined, has found in our Region lovers of great scientific depth that with their commitment and They have made it possible for our Discipline to increasingly occupy a role of significant pre-eminence both on the diagnostic and therapeutic side of Medical Science. The role played by the Scientific Committee to which my fondest thanks go and of which accredited members of the multiple branches of our Discipline can develop the most effective scientific program, will be of fundamental importance.

At the end of these brief but sincere hearings and with the hope of meeting in Genoa next November, I renew my heartfelt best wishes and a sincere and affectionate embrace!
