On behalf of the organizing committee, I am honored and delighted to welcome you to the third International Conference on Radiological Science and Technology (ICRST), scheduled for October 21, 2017, in conjunction with the 45th Autumn Meeting of the Japanese Society of Radiological Technology (JSRT), which will be held from October 19 to 21, 2017 at International Conference Center Hiroshima in Hiroshima, Japan.

The 3rd ICRST organized by the JSRT continues a series of international conference from 2011. The ICRST will provide every participant with great opportunities to research results, share knowledge of radiological technology with more than 700 attendees and enrich their professional network.

The theme of the 3rd ICRST ‘New Horizon -Imaging Wisely and Radiation Safety-’ will underpin the need for collaboration and cooperation between radiological technologists, medical physicists, radiologists, other imaging practitioners, and patients to help them lower radiation dosages used in medically necessary imaging studies.
We wish to optimize the use of radiation in imaging patients while guaranteeing a radiographic high-quality image.
We hope that the 3rd ICRST results in productive discussion and stimulates all participants to carry out further research activities. You will find it to be peaceful here in the beautiful autumn season in Hiroshima, Japan.
We are looking forward to seeing you all here.

Akio Ogura, Ph.D.
Conference President of the 3rd ICRST
