2019 Chicago International Breast Course

Chicago, IL US
November 1, 2019 to November 3, 2019
Chicago International Breast Course 2019 (CIBC) offers comprehensive lectures and hands-on training using cutting-edge technology with an advanced but practical approach.
 
Our theme this year is Advancing the Art of Breast Imaging. As always, the three-day Conference will cover breast imaging modalities, including digital breast tomosynthesis, handheld and automated whole breast ultrasound, fast-sequence MRI, and molecular breast imaging. A highlight this year is a new session on the use of AI in breast image interpretation. In addition, course topics will include breast cancer screening and high-risk management controversies, quality and safety, patient engagement, and clinical practice concerns.

Hands-on workshops that focus on performance and interpretation of handheld and automated whole breast ultrasound, elastography, DBT-guided biopsy, and ultrasound-guided intervention will increase attendees’ confidence in embracing these new techniques.

Please join us for one of the most highly sought-after breast imaging meetings that for many years has attracted the best and brightest physicians and other healthcare practitioners. We look forward to welcoming you and your company to the 2019 Chicago International Breast Course.
