One session focused on post-processing utilising the Siemens MAGNETOM Aera 1.5T, highlighting the dedicated 16 channel Sentinelle breast coils
“During my presentation, I talked about diagnosing breast cancer using triple assessment and about the complementary role of Breast MR in the diagnosis, local staging and management,” states Dr Barbara Dall, Consultant Radiologist at Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust. “We were delighted to be able to steer delegates through the practical sessions in the afternoon and answer any questions. The general feedback from attendees was that the day enhanced their confidence in performing and reporting Breast MR examinations.”
The sessions were wide-ranging, with one focused on image acquisition and post-processing, highlighting the dedicated 16 channel Sentinelle breast coils featured on the Siemens MAGNETOM® Aera 1.5T. The system supports a variety of breast coils which are enabled by the Tim Coil Interface resulting in flexible breast imaging options to meet the variety of clinical needs. Another session focused on the problems and practicalities of the imaging process, advising clinicians on how to keep patients at ease and provide a more comfortable experience.
“The feedback we’ve received from delegates has been excellent, with all attendees advising that the day will have a beneficial effect on their clinical practice,” states Jane Kilkenny, MR Business Manager at Siemens Healthcare. “Siemens holds a number of training events each year across the UK, and we look forward to continuing our positive relationship with breast MR clinicians into the future by providing the support needed to further enhance clinical practice.”
