Breast Biopsy Bootcamp, led by Toma Omofoye, MD

Join us for a focused, hands-on ultrasound-guided breast biopsy workshop. This practical session will cover rationale, step-by-step technique and expert guidance on navigating challenging cases, in a supportive, small-group setting designed to build confidence.  

Liver Imaging, led by Nidhi Leehka, MBBS, MD

This interactive workshop will focus on a practical approach to liver ultrasound, including optimized scanning techniques, liver anatomy, standardized examination protocols, liver Doppler assessment, elastography and the sonographic evaluation of focal liver lesions. Participants will gain hands-on experience in image acquisition, Doppler assessment, lesion characterization and common clinical scenarios, with emphasis on techniques that can be readily applied in routine clinical practice.
