Course Description
The "Mammo in Maui" course will provide an in-depth review of the latest breast imaging and interventional techniques by leaders in the field. Subjects that will be covered include: MRI of the breast, digital mammography, computer-aided detection (CAD), and image guided (MR, US and Stereotactic) interventional procedures.
This course will help radiologists to stay current with breast imaging techniques as well as to learn and understand new methods so that they may apply these methods in their practice.
This course will emphasize a unique MRI case review format using real-time projection of studies from an imaging workstation. This review will allow participants to see a large number of cases coupled with correlative feedback so that they may rapidly gain experience in interpreting breast MRI studies.
