During 5 days, all attendees got an overview of a number of breast imaging technologies from a range of specialists: medical physicists, epidemiologists, CAD engineers, radiologists and radiographers. Several topics were covered, such European protocols to measure image quality for mammography and breast tomosynthesis, estimation of breast dose during the X-ray mammography procedures, avoid image artefacts, etc. It was a very successful course as Oliver commented:  “I found this training course very useful. Now I can understand much better the entire breast cancer screening workflow and identify what needs to be improved. I will definitely use all this new knowledge for my research within the SCARtool project”.

Despite the cold and strong gusts of wind we all endured, the meeting was a success as shown by the positive feedback given by an European reviewer present. Also during the meeting, updated overviews of all 10 work-packages were presented.

Furthermore, the event was used to run several discussion groups about screening with breast ultrasound and breast magnetic resonance, as well as to discuss on how to use breast density and image texture measurements to assess breast cancer risk.
