This course should be mandatory for every breast radiologist and sonographer. After practicing for more than 20 years I learned so much and will go home and change the way I practice.

As a surgeon who wanted to learn more about the nuances of breast ultrasound and biopsy, this course was awesome! Very helpful. I would recommend it to my colleagues.

Course Overview

Dr. Thomas Stavros, author of Breast Ultrasound, Dr. Kevin Kelly, along with supporting faculty present standard and emerging breast imaging techniques for both early detection and diagnosis of breast cancer. The emphasis will be on the macroscopic histology and pathology, correlated with the sonographic appearance of benign and malignant abnormalities (contrasted with pattern recognition techniques). Sessions will be augmented by a three-stage learning process of (1) conventional didactic format (with PowerPoint slides and illustrative images); (2) simulated real-time scanning review (checkpoints) of selected sessions with high-resolution cine presentations on computer workstations (one for every two attendees); (3) hands-on workshops mentored by the faculty. Supplementary screening materials and other new developments in breast ultrasound materials are also presented.
