Breast MRI is fast becoming an essential tool in breast imaging.  In spite of the rapid growth of MR imaging, many breast imaging radiologists still have limited practical experience with this technique.  This course is intended to help radiologists move beyond the basics and apply classroom knowledge in the clinical setting.  This case-based review course will expose the learner to multiple challenging breast MRI cases.  In addition to breast MRI, the course will cover new and emerging FDA approved technologies, such as tomosynthesis, contrast mammography, and molecular breast imaging that many learners may not have regular clinical exposure to.
