T he Radiological Society organised aBreastUltrasound and Mammography Workshop as part of the 1999 South African Radiology Congress at the CSIR Conference Centre from 23 to 26 September 1999. The congress was organised with the co-operation of the faculty members of The International Breast Ultrasound School (IBUS). Speakers attending the Congress were Dr Edward Azavedo and Dr Gunilla Svane from the Karolinska Hospital in Stockholm and Dr Roberta Chersevani from Gorizia in Italy. A wide spectrum of topics was discussed starting with the basics of mammographic criteria and ending up with future developments in senology. The panel of speakers continued to reiterate the importance of quality assurance and quality control in senology as well as the accreditation of radiologists involved in breast imaging. These are two topics which will have to be addressed by the Radiological Society in the very near future. We cannot continue breast imaging in South Africa without some form of accreditation of the people doing the imaging and some sort of control over whether there is any quality assurance in institutions doing breast imaging. A further fact that emerged from the Congress, as well as from the discussions, is the continuing question of MR imaging of the breasts. There is a very long learning curve in MR imaging of the breasts and it seems that this examination should only be performed in institutions where they have a high turnover of cases and where they have experience. It is an open question whether this examination should be performed in South Africa at all. The syllabus that was given out during the Congress contains a handy number of lectures including some interesting lectures about fine needle
