Dear colleagues,
dear friends,

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 gaining 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. This is story behind our breast MRI courses: A coherent teaching of breast MRI on highest scientific, clinical and teaching standard. The basic course is directly connected to the advanced course.

This Case Reading Session is designed as a free trailer to the main course.

You want to get to know us? You want to get to have a closer look at our diagnostic approach?  You want to discuss some cases with leading experts? Then you have found the right place.

We are looking forward to meeting you!

1 Contrast-enhanced spectral mammography (CEM) is increasingly recognized as a powerful diagnostic tool in breast imaging. CEM relies on similar principles as breast MRI, highlighting cancer by IV contrast, thereby bypassing the limitation of dense breast tissue. Possible applications of CEM are problem solving and screening in women with dense breasts.
2 In this interactive course you will receive an evidence-based and unbiased expert view of CEM. You will learn all relevant technical basics of CEM. You will familiarize yourself with CEM in clinical examples. You will acquire practically relevant knowledge for your practice in interactive discussions. You will train your CEM skills during interactive case readings.
3 To optimize your teaching experience, we use latest e-learning technology including HD-streaming, multiple channels for interaction with your tutors and anonymous online polls with real time feedback.
