MODERN ART & TRADITIONAL FOOD
Wednesday, March 3, 2010, 19:00
For the first time, EUSOBI is organising an exclusive evening event for its participants.
Beginning on Wednesday, March 3 at 19.00, our guests will be led to a guided tour through the MUMOK. The Austrian Museum of Modern Art is located in the MuseumsQuartier, a well-known, highly recognised and recently renovated museum complex in the heart of Vienna, offering a mixture of outstanding art, culture and a variety of cafés. This cultural journey will be followed by a dinner in a classical Viennese restaurant, the "Glacis Beisl" - also part of the famous MuseumsQuartier and located nearby the MUMOK.
Due to the limited amount of tickets sold, reserve your tickets NOW for this outstanding premiere for the price of EURO 20.00 each, by sending an e-mail to Ms. Maja Nizamov mnizamov@eusobi.org indicating the ticket amount needed.
The Evening Event is kindly sponsored by SENTINELLE MEDICAL

This workshop is organised to provide participants with an introduction to the most important issues in percutaneous imaging-guided biopsy of breast lesions under ultrasound and MRI guidance.
Percutaneous imaging-guided needle biopsy has increasingly become an alternative to surgical biopsy for the histologic assessment of breast lesions.
Percutaneous biopsy is faster, less invasive and less expensive than surgical biopsy. Tissue acquisition is performed with automated large core needles or directional vacuum-assisted biopsy probes. Guidance for percutaneous biopsy is usually provided by stereotaxis and ultrasound. In the near future, MRI may play a significant role, especially in high risk patients. Imaging guidance depends on lesion type and the results of diagnostic imaging studies. This workshop deals with indications, advantages, limitations and controversial issues in percutaneous imaging-guided biopsy of breast lesions under ultrasound and MRI guidance. Participants will work on phantoms to learn how to hit a lesion or, for the more experienced, how to improve their personal 'hit rate'.
During practical sessions, participants will be instructed how to perform breast biopsy on phantoms under ultrasound and MRI guidance. State-of-the-art equipment will be available, including different automated large core needles and/or directional vacuum-assisted biopsy probes, and sessions will be arranged to allow time for each participant to perform examinations under supervision. Participants will learn how to hit a lesion or, for the more experienced, how to improve their personal 'hit rate'.
Learning Objectives:
1.To learn how to perform breast biopsy under US guidance.
2.To learn how to perform breast biopsy under MRI guidance.
3.To learn the potential advantages and limits of MRI-guided biopsy.
4.To learn which technique should be preferably used (automated large core needles or directional vacuum-assisted biopsy probes).
