The European Society of Breast Imaging (EUSOBI) introduced an European Diploma in Breast Imaging (EDBI) in 2012. The European Diploma in Breast Imaging will be a common European qualification for breast imagers and will help to standardise training and expertise in breast imaging across Europe. The European Diploma in Breast Imaging is endorsed by the European Society of Radiology (ESR).
The EDBI confirms specific competence of radiologists to perform, interpret and report mammography, ultrasound, MRI and breast intervention. The EBDI will assist breast imagers in the promotion of their skills and experience in breast imaging when dealing with other clinical colleagues and with the general public.

The EDBI confirms specific competence of radiologists to perform, interpret and report mammography, ultrasound, MRI and breast intervention. The EBDI will assist breast imagers in the promotion of their skills and experience in breast imaging when dealing with other clinical colleagues and with the general public.
The EDBI will test knowledge which is based on the subspecialty breast interest component of the ESR curriculum. However candidates will not be expected to have in depth knowledge of management of screening programmes or extramammary staging.
Breast imaging is rapidly evolving thus requiring continuous medical education. EUSOBI will renew the European Diploma in Breast Imaging every three years for full EUSOBI members in good standing upon proof of at least 50 CME credits in breast imaging (or equivalent national credits) within 48 months. For the others the examination must be repeated.
Successful candidates will be awarded the European Diploma in Breast Imaging and may add EBBI (European Board of Breast Imaging) to their name.
Outline
- The European Diploma in Breast Imaging is acquired in 2 steps.
- Step 2 comprises written and oral components and can be taken for the next time on occasion of the EUSOBI 2016 in Paris/FR.
- Only a limited number of candidates can be accepted for step 2 at each meeting. Applications will be accepted on a first come, first served basis – date of receipt of application form! Early application is therefore recommended.
- After the examination for step 2, an examiners meeting will be held. At this meeting, the results of both components of the exam will be added together to produce a total score for the examination for each candidate.
- The scores for each candidate will be reviewed and potential fail candidates will be discussed. At the end of the meeting, a list of pass and fail candidates will be produced and candidates informed accordingly by email.
- Successful candidates will be awarded the European Diploma in Breast Imaging (EDBI) and may add EBBI (European Board of Breast Imaging) to their name.

Step I
RIS documentation or Logbook
All candidates must present a RIS documentation or logbook with a total record of their breast imaging experience. This should present the candidate’s breast imaging experience in mammography, ultrasound, MRI and interventional procedures. The whole information needs to be anonymous. The RIS documentation or logbook should be countersigned by candidate’s breast imaging programme director.The minimum qualifications required for entry to the examination are the following:
The candidate should have experience in at least 800 mammographies, 500 ultrasound, 50 breast MR studies and any 50 interventional procedures per year. The candidate should have reached these figures independently every year within the last three years before the examination is taken.
CME credits in breast imaging
25 CME credits (or equivalent national credits) within the last three years specifically in breast imaging with various modalities.Letter of support
Letter of support from the candidate’s breast imaging programme director or department head confirming, that the candidate was trained in breast imaging for a cumulative duration of at least one year.Step II: Oral and Written Examination
(Candidates judged to have satisfied step 1 are invited from EUSOBI to take step 2. This comprises written and oral components.)
Written exam
The written part of the examination runs via the new EDiR platform.- 30 multiple choice questions.
- MCQs - five answer options, 1 or more of the given answer options are correct.
- No negative marking for incorrect answers.
- 15 pictorial multiple choice questions - five answer options, 1 or more of the given answer options are correct.
- No negative marking for incorrect answers.
- The exam lasts 80 minutes.
- Candidates will be tested in all aspects relevant to breast imaging such as clinical practice, pathology, mammography,ultrasound, MRI, intervention.
Oral exam
This consists of a 20 minute oral examination by EUSOBI/EDBI representatives in English language. The examiners will show each candidate a series of cases. The examiners will test the candidate’s knowledge of all aspects of the cases under discussion – indication, clinical background, diagnosis, technical parameters, limitations, etc.More events
