The Nijmegen advanced breast imaging course is an advanced level course for practitioners in breast care. The sessions aim to discuss the use of common and novel imaging techniques in clinical practice. In the first session tomosynthesis is highlighted; it’s role in both clinical practice and screening is discussed and possible optimisations for reading and reporting are presented. The second session puts other breast screening issues in the spotlight. The do’s and don'ts in high risk screening are evaluated and the possible implementation of various abbreviated and ultrafast MRI protocols are discussed. Novel and upcoming techniques for breast screening are subsequently presented, possibly changing breast imaging practice in the years to come. The third session focusses on specific clinical problems, including the use of MRI as a problem solving tool, the evaluation of breast implants and the reconstructed breast, and the value of axillary imaging. Finally, in the last session, the use of imaging and the clinical wishes are regarded from a therapeutic standpoint. Do we in fact deliver what is asked?, and how can we improve our service? are the questions on the table.

The Nijmegen advanced breast imaging course will thus present a comprehensive overview of the current hot items in breast radiology and the way these may change patient care in the (near) future.
