Eusobi European Society Of Breast Imaging

The European Society of Breast Imaging (EUSOBI) is dedicated to support research and education of the best actual screening, diagnostic and interventional practice within the European breast radiology community and beyond - as well as to publicize these methods to patients. Membership of the society is open to all European (and Non-European) radiologists and professionals, who have an interest in all aspects of breast imaging. In the last decade, Breast MRI has surfaced from the domain of research into clinical practice. It has become a widely accepted modality to detect and evaluate breast disease and the list of indications is continuously expanding. To perform state-of-the-art breast MRI, knowledge of both technical aspects and current indications is essential. The aim of these Guidelines is to provide handholds for breast radiologists in order to deliver current best practice to their patients, as deemed appropriate by the EUSOBI. The rapid increase in the demand for imaging women with symptoms and for population screening means that there is a need to sufficiently train further young radiologists to render confident diagnosis in breast imaging and intervention using all modalities. This has led the European Society of Radiology (ESR) and the European Society of Breast Imaging (EUSOBI) to take the initiative in establishing an exchange programmer for fellowships or sub specialization training in breast imaging. Breast Imaging is at the heart of modern management of breast disease which aims to make a clear cut diagnosis as promptly as possible to discharge women with benign disease and make a non-operative diagnosis of cancer. The programmer offers an opportunity to complement sub specialization training in breast imaging or an existing structured fellowship programmer, through exchange. During three months of training the trainee will be provided with intense modular training in breast imaging and will be supervised by a specialized tutor in a pre-selected, highly esteemed, academic training center in Europe. The programmer is aimed at board-certified radiologists within the first three years after certification who desire to become radiologists with a subspecialist interest in breast imaging.
