Women's Imaging

University of California San Francisco, Department of Radiology
Course Director: Aliya Qayyum, MBBS

The overall goal of this program is to provide current information on the relevant use of imaging and interventional techniques in women with breast and gynecologic pathology. Core concepts and future directions are addressed, including cancer screening, breast intervention, and current status of breast and gynecologic MRI. Practical applications are highlighted. Topics covered include benign and malignant gynecologic imaging, fetal imaging, breast imaging including medico-legal aspects, whole body CT screening, and osteoporosis.
