In addition to clinical presentations, general management and teamwork will be in focus in Multi-disciplinary Team (MDT) sessions that Forrai will moderate.
“We will discuss
some very interesting and challenging cases - especially those that arise
during routine daily work. We have collected and will discuss significant cases
covering pathological, oncological and surgical interests and specialities.”
In an effort
to extend bonds with other societies around the world, this year EUSOBI will meet
with Australian breast radiologists. “Cross-border networking amongst
breast radiologists is beneficial for insights into colleagues’ challenges and
solutions,” said Forrai.
Continued
support for young breast radiologist will feature at the event in the EUSOBI Young Club Symposium,
where young radiologists can interact with and ask experts about different professional
issues.
Delegates
will have the opportunity to network during a social programme that includes a concert
of Hungarian music at the opening event and a networking boat trip on the Danube.
EUSOBI takes place in Budapest, Hungary from October 3 – 5.
