The workshop is held in October, Breast Cancer Awareness Month, to raise awareness of breast cancer and to explain the role radiology plays in its early detection and diagnosis. It asks a practical question – can radiology help? – and answers it through the experience of a practising radiologist.
Its main aims are to:
- Raise awareness of breast cancer and the importance of early detection.
- Present the role of imaging in screening, diagnosis and follow-up of breast disease.
- Connect academic study in the imaging and vision-care departments with real clinical practice.
- Contribute to Sustainable Development Goal 3, Good Health and Well-Being, by promoting health awareness.
