Breast Implants. MRI Interventions

MRI is the gold standard for breast implants diagnostics.

Indications for MRI include suspicion of rupture or insufficiency of implants. According to literature, 30 to 50% of findings on MRI are not visible on a second-look ultrasound.

For better diagnostics outcomes doctors should be able to localize the finding on MRI and be aware about MR-guided biopsy technique.

Within the course, Prof. Uwe Fischer will dive into features of diagnostics of implants and breast reconstructions and share techniques for performing MR-guided interventions: preoperative localization and biopsy.

About the course

Three educational modules

Each module of the course is a comprehensive study of breast implants diagnostics and different aspects of MR-guided interventions, providing students with a deep understanding of the particular topic.

Certificate of Completion

Upon completion of the course, students are provided with an official certificate confirming the successful completion of their training.

Full immersion in MRI research

Our course provides a comprehensive exploration of MRI techniques for pretherapeutic staging, monitoring during therapy, and follow-up after breast cancer.
