About IWBI
The International Workshop on Breast Imaging (IWBI, formerly the International Workshop on Digital Mammography IWDM), was designed as a platform to present the latest physical-technical developments, quality control and clinical experiences with novel breast imaging technologies, including not only digital mammography and tomosynthesis, but also breast CT, MR, ultrasound, optical and molecular imaging. IWBI has brought together researchers, clinicians and representatives from industry, who are jointly committed to developing technology and other image-based tools for the early detection and subsequent management of breast cancer for several years. This is the 17th edition of the meeting with the previous one taking place in Leuven, Belgium in 2022. The 2024 workshop will feature several renowned keynote and invited speakers, as well as proffered oral and poster presentations with the hopes of inspiring clinically relevant research and development in breast imaging, with the ultimate aim to improve patient care and outcomes.
