Description

Breast MRI, while also enjoying the evenings to visit beautiful Barcelona!? Join us on our next Onsite edition of this course 22-24 April 2024 with Dr. Pediconi Onsite Breast MRI Fellowship!


The purpose of the fellowship is to become more confident in reporting breast MRI and learn the techniques and main indications. The program covers all major topics related to MRI of breast and provides basic and advanced knowledge to report.

This breast MRI fellowship includes an overview of basic and advanced breast MRI techniques, and key indications for use in clinical practice with a daily presentation, individual case readings from the TMC Academy teaching file with reading of group cases. Standard reporting templates are used to help you navigate and write high-quality reports.
At the end of the program, you will be able to create your MRI protocol in clinical practice and follow the correct indications. You will also be able to do report on common pathologies observed in daily practice, including interventional.

Includes an overview of the main indications to perform breast MRI; implementation and reporting; applications from diagnosis through to surveillance, response assessment and restaging.

Participation in this fellowship with 10 radiologists maximum ensures a personal learning environment where you will enhance and strengthen your own and each other’s knowledge. In this small group environment among your peers, you are free to ask questions, make mistakes, and learn together with the support of the radiologist mentor.

The fellowship will run during working hours (approximately 9:00 to 5:00pm) so participants will be free to explore the beautiful city of Barcelona in the evenings and weekend should you choose to extend your stay.

This fellowship is organised by TMC Academy, an EACCME Trusted Provider.
