MEETING DESCRIPTION:
Breast MRI
Breast MRI is currently one the “hottest topics” in Breast Imaging. The American Cancer Society now recommends that MRI screening be done annually in addition to mammography starting at age 30 for women at high risk for breast cancer. Recent research studies are reporting MRI scans may offer a new way to detect breast cancer at its earliest stages and perhaps even prevent cancer among high-risk women. MRI has an accuracy rate for DCIS of about 90% when mammograms only find it 56% of the time. Join one of your peers who performs breast MRI at the prestigious M.D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, Texas to learn about the current applications and new trends is this modality. MRI technologists and mammographers are sure to benefit from this timely and important educational opportunity.
