Description:
ABOUT THE MEETING

This symposium is structured to provide a broad clinical perspective of breast imaging. The course focuses on a systematic approach to breast imaging and interpretation strategies. A review of image guided breast biopsy procedures delivers basic to advanced techniques and the importance of pathologic correlation. Rounding out the program are updates in breast imaging modalities like ultrasound, magnetic resonance and digital imaging. The faculty for this course have been chosen for their teaching ability, as well as for their clinical expertise.
