In just a few years, digital mammography and dramatic improvements in minimally invasive intervention technologies have radically altered the way radiologists and radiographers practice. To say that we have achieved great progress is true, but the challenge of implementing this progress in routine clinical practice remains, and it is likely that the pace of change will continue for some years to come.

Using a combination of industry and clinical thought leaders, the symposia will examine and explore in detail the roles of promising breast imaging and intervention technologies including breast tomosynthesis, breast density assessment, vacuum assisted MRI guided breast biopsy, and targeted breast radiation therapy.

This Hologic sponsored symposium is offered in conjunction with the European Congress of Radiology meeting in Vienna. Space is limited. You are encouraged to register to attend.
