Dear Friends,

A very warm welcome to all of you to the Asian Musculoskeletal Society (AMS) homepage.

It is a tremendous honor for me to preside over this wonderful society for two years handed over by previous President Prof. James Griffith at The Chinese University of Hong Kong.

The AMS is a wonderful society, bringing together radiologists and other specialists interested in musculoskeletal imaging from the Middle East to the Far East. The basis of the AMS is to share our love of MSK imaging with our friends from other Asian countries and enhance education, training, and research into MSK diseases within the Asian region. I do not doubt that you will hugely enjoy and benefit from this society.

AMS will become a more vital organization by improving the quality of education and research activities. This year, we will launch the AMS Research Incentive Award and AMS Outreach Program. Enhancing the homepage and starting up the newsletter will further strengthen the fascia among members for a new leap forward. To that end, your cooperation is indispensable. I will continue to welcome your frank opinions and new suggestions.

As a member of AMS, please encourage your friends to join. The members stand for why this society exists and help drive society onwards as strong engines. Please enjoy reading the newsletter and get more involved in the AMS activities.

Yours sincerely,
