Transcript Nijmegen Advanced Breast Imaging Course

Nijmegen Advanced
Breast Imaging Course
Wednesday June 1st, 2016
Introduction
Breast imaging is the most multimodal discipline in radiology, and one of the
most interactive. Although in many cases the question that needs to be answered
is binomial, i.e. it is cancer, or it is not, breast imaging in practice is far more
complex, and needs to take into account patient needs and epidemiological facts
to deliver truly personalised care.
The array of techniques available to breast imagers is ever expanding. It is a
simple fact that novel techniques are already presented before previous
techniques have been thoroughly evaluated.
Currently tomosynthesis, contrast enhanced mammography, 3D ultrasound and
various MRI techniques are at the brink of wide implementation while good
guidelines on the use of each of these modalities are lacking. Simultaneously,
novel techniques such as breast CT and plane wave ultrasound are under
development and might soon make their way to the clinic.
The Nijmegen advanced breast imaging course aims to discuss the current
advances in breast imaging from image generation to patient care and screening.
‘Why do we see this?’, ‘How can we use it?’, and ‘What is its place in patient care
and/or screening?’ are the central questions on which this course is built.
Lectures will enable the participants to:
•tailor diagnostic tests to the woman and the indication in order to optimise
personalised care
•understand image formation and artefacts in emerging modalities
•discuss the use of novel imaging tests in relation to the clinical question.
