"IMAGING AND ENDOMETRIOSIS"       

Pre-Congress Symposium
Wednesday, September 14, 2005
Leuven, Belgium

Dear colleagues,

The fact that the World Congress on Endometriosis takes place in Maastricht this year, bringing together all the experts 
in the field of endometriosis, is the opportunity we would like to grasp to organize a symposium on “Imaging and Diagnosis in
Endometriosis” in Leuven. Different experts will discuss with you their experience with different imaging techniques
and the diagnosis of endometriosis. It is our pleasure to invite you all to attend this meeting and we hope to meet you in
Leuven.

Sincerely yours,

S. Gordts, MD and I. Brosens, MD, PhD
