Very useful review. I found it reassuring that most of it was not new to me. The implant session I found particularly useful.
Radiologist (delegate from this webinar in December 2022)
I was really impressed by the breadth and standard of the talks. I am not a breast radiologist, attending in order to support a proton beam MDT but actually found the majority of the course relevant and well delivered. A true worthwhile day.

Access to cases for our imaging events
Our imaging courses are very much an interactive experience. Presentations are kept to the minimum and then you'll be into the fully featured cloud based DICOM viewer, looking at cases, feeding back your findings using our interactive tools. You'll get immediate feedback and learning points from our expert faculty member.
- Attendance of the course includes access to the database of cases associated to this event on our server at PostDICOM.
- Full access to each case with a full toolset to open, view and manipulate each case alongside the faculty but on your own screen!
- You will maintain your access to the resource throughout your 60 day catch-service period too.
Sample the DICOM viewer here. A window will load below the buttons (best demonstrated on a computer rather than mobile device)
