2019 Chicago International Breast Course: Advancing the Art of Breast Imaging

The 2019 Chicago International Breast Course (CIBC) offered training using cutting-edge technology with an advanced but practical approach. The three-day conference comprehensively covered breast imaging modalities, including digital breast tomosynthesis, handheld and automated whole breast US, fast-sequence MRI, and molecular breast imaging. Course topics included breast cancer screening and high-risk management controversies, quality and safety, patient engagement, clinical practice concerns, and the use of AI in breast image interpretation. Now, you can cover these same topics through recorded sessions online!
