Practical Breast MRI: Applications & Interventions for Clinical Practice

Practical Breast MRI

February 25-27, 2011
Las Vegas, NV

Practical Breast MRI is designed to offer you practical ways to refine (or begin) the implementation of MR imaging in your practice. You will achieve that through a combination of lectures, interactive panel presentations,hands-on workshops and a series of “How Do I…” talks that plainly show you how the experts do it in their own institutions, on their magnets. This year the program has added a more comprehensive look at ways of diagnosing breast cancer that includes ultrasound and molecular imaging.

Find out why Practical Breast MRI earns one of the highest attendee approval ratings in the IAME course calendar!
