Dear colleagues,

Reaching a total of 70 registrants from all around the globe we are proud to announce that our second Summer School Breast Imaging with László Tabar was once again a huge success!

It was again an honor to host Doctor László Tabar as our keynote speaker.

The insights and firsthand tips provided by László Tabar were not only enlightening but also instrumental in enhancing our clinical skills. Check out the trailer to learn more about this unique learning experience.

Outline

1

Mix of impulse lecture and interactive case reading session: Lectures on each major subject will be mixed with interactive sessions. These consist of questions relevant to the subject and a mixture of normal and early cancer cases presented as they appear on a viewing station.
2

Using interactive online polls, your personal learning progress will be evident. This course design gives immediate feedback demonstrating the effectiveness of our teaching methods.
3

During the course you will progressively improve your skills in reading and interpreting breast images.
4

You will learn the full spectrum of normal breast images, with all important findings explained with the help of 3-dimensional histology images.
5

Our course aims at helping you to reduce unnecessary call-backs and increase your confidence in reading mammograms.
6

You will receive immediate feedback and histologic confirmation using large format histology.
7

The multimodality approach will be emphasized throughout the course.
8

Special emphasis will be placed on finding early phase breast cancers.

A new era in the diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer. A short history.

  • Correlating 3-dimensional, subgross anatomy with mammography of the normal breast results in increased confidence in reading a mammogram and finding small abnormalities.
  • Special training in large format thin and thick section (3D) histopathologic correlation enables the radiologist to account for every linear and nodular density on the mammogram.

Finding invasive breast cancer when it is still small

  • Malignant stellate and circular/oval-shaped lesions originating from the TDLUs (AAB):
  • Clinical presentation, histology, mammographic – MRI – ultrasound appearance and outcome.

A systematic method for viewing mammograms

  • Areas on the mammogram where most breast cancers will be found.
  • Viewing dense breasts
  • Viewing relatively easy to-read breasts

The multimodality approach

The role of hand-held ultrasound / 3D automated ultrasound / MRI in the detection and workup of the findings.

Algorithm for classifying breast diseases according to their site of origin

  • Benign breast diseases originating in the TDLU and associated with calcifications on the mammogram:
  • Fibrocystic change
  • Fibroadenoma
  • Different types of adenosis
  • Understanding pathophysiology leading to calcified and non-calcified hyperplastic breast changes.
  • The morphologic analysis of calcifications representing a less aggressive carcinoma: Grade 1 / well differentiated CIS
