LMICs Radiology Free Webinar Series: Ultrasound-guided and Mammography-guided Breast Procedures

Monday, February 23, 2026, 8:00 AM - 10:00 AM, A Live Webinar

The LMICs Free Radiology Webinar Series launched in January 2025 as a collaboration between Stanford University School of Medicine and the University of Nigeria Teaching Hospital to address educational gaps among radiology professionals in low- to middle-income countries across Africa. This year the series will run February 23 to September 28, 2026, and focus on practical guidance for interventional/procedural skills in radiology. Designed to be engaging and accessible, the series aims to enhance clinical knowledge while providing important step by step guidance and best practices for performing radiology procedures. This session is divided into two parts based on breast biopsies: Part 1: Ultrasound-guided breast procedures: Technique, pitfalls and practical pearls Part 2: Mammography-guided breast procedures: Technique, tips and troubleshooting
