The case bank and volume of cases over the 2-day course were an excellent way to gain more experience and feel more comfortable with breast MRI interpretation. The expert staff present to field questions was also a fantastic resource.
The format utilized at the Education Center is hands down the most effective way to learn and far superior to standard review courses.
