Description
Dear colleagues,
Dear friends,
We cordially invite you to our breast MRI courses. Werner Kaiser himself, the inventor of breast MRI, introduced us to “his” method some 20 years ago. Over one decade we were part of his core team. Here we gained extensive first-hand knowledge from Werner. Ever since then, breast MRI has been at the very center of our comprehensive activities. Meanwhile we have joined the small circle of internationally recognized top experts in breast MRI.
Since the very beginning of our activities, we have been jointly committed to scientifically sound, clinically relevant and didactically polished teaching in breast MRI. The enthusiastic feedback from our participants motivates us to constantly improve our courses.
Here comes the story behind our breast MRI courses: A coherent teaching on highest scientific, clinical and teaching standards. And most of all: You will have fun!
Our courses are designed as a sequel (Basic, Advanced, Expert). In case you book more than one course together, you receive a 20% bundle-discount. Depending on your previous knowledge and interest, you may, of course, attend any course individually.
We are looking forward to welcoming you soon at the School of Radiology!
Yours,
Pascal Baltzer and Matthias Dietzel

What our participants say
„
Even after many years of working in breast imaging, I enjoy the broad expertise of the two colleagues in their courses. Organization and technical support before and during the courses are excellent. Great communication even before and after the start of the course via instant messenger. During the interactive lectures, there is always the possibility to ask questions via microphones (not as otherwise often in the “chat”). Questions, are then discussed with all participants. This make the courses also very entertaining. Prof. Baltzer and Prof. Dietzel convey the current state of knowledge. High-quality clinical examples consisting of their own, carefully curated cases. Pitfalls of breast MRI are clearly explained.
I will gladly return!

There is always something more to learn. Even for a master”, Master Oogway, Kung fu panda. This is absolutely the case with Pascal and Matthias at School Of Radiology #SOR, there’s always a place and new updated information for every radiologist from beginners to advanced levels. It’s always a pleasure attending thier webinars and symposiums, it’s not just a lecture as any lecture, they do it with absolute undeniable passion, pouring thier hearts out and most importantly they are always reachable just a message, an email or a chat in a coffee break away to answer all the questions and discuss even more. Best part for me would be the diveristy of cases, interactive long discussions, answering all the questions and inquires, sharing thier outstanding experiences in a friendly fun way, it’s never a dull moment with these two. As Rumi said “Stop learning. Start knowing”… start the journey of knowing with School Of Radiology.
