SPL 25th Anniversary Celebration Dear Friends, I am delighted to invite you, the alumni and friends of the SPL, to participate in the celebration of the twenty-fifth anniversary of the Surgical Planning Laboratory. From humble beginnings in corners of unused spaces in the Radiology Department at Brigham and Women's Hospital, the SPL has evolved into a power house in medical image computing, both investigating novel technologies and using them for biomedical research. It has been my privilege to both lead and participate in many of these activities. The unique strength of the SPL has always been the spirit and exceptional quality of its international community of investigators and partners, all working together to change the face of medicine. Not only did the SPL benefit from your efforts, but many of you have carried the spirit beyond the SPL to wherever you are today. Please join us to celebrate the SPL at a symposium and reunion at Brigham and Women’s Hospital and Harvard Medical School in Boston on April 8 and 9, 2016. Best Regards, Ron Kikinis

It has been my privilege to both lead and participate in many of these activities.
-From humble beginnings in corners of unused spaces in the Radiology Department at Brigham and Women's Hospital, the SPL has evolved to become the hub of groundbreaking multi-disciplinary medical research activities both inside the hospital and across the globe. It has been my privilege to watch advances in medical imaging, surgical planning, image-guided therapy, visualization, and the understanding of disease happen daily in and around the SPL over the past twenty-five years.
+The unique strength of the SPL has always been the spirit and exceptional quality of its international community of investigators and partners, all working together to change the face of medicine. Not only did the SPL benefit from your efforts, but many of you have carried the spirit beyond the SPL to wherever you are today.
+Please join us to celebrate the SPL at a symposium and reunion at Brigham and Women’s Hospital and Harvard Medical School in Boston on April 8 and 9, 2016.
-While the almost unbelievable advances in computational and medical technologies that have occurred since the lab opened have helped made these breathroughs possible, the unique strength of the SPL has always been you: hundreds of people from many disciplines, nationalities, educational and cultural backgrounds, all working together to change the face of medicine. Not only have you benefited the SPL with your efforts, many of you have carried the spirit of the lab back to your home institutions and driven even further innovation.
-Please celebrate the SPL with us at a symposium and reunion on the Harvard Medical School Campus on April 8 and 9, 2016. Tours of AMIGO, the embodiment of our dear mentor Ferenc Jolesz's vision for image-guided therapy, will be also available.
-I look forward to seeing many of you in April, to share old stories was well as new visions for the future.
 Best Regards,
