Introduction.
Join us for our dedicated “Breast Imaging” track at the National Diagnostic Imaging Symposium. Held at Disney’s Yacht Club Resort in Florida, this 3-day program promises to be an invaluable experience for radiologists seeking to enhance their expertise in breast imaging. In addition to the 3-day symposium, we are offering two workshops on Wednesday and one on Thursday to enhance your breast imaging knowledge. These workshops which are supported by unrestricted grants provide in-depth hands on study of the latest in breast imaging including contrast-enhanced mammography, automated breast ultrasound, breast biopsy and beyond.
This program is designed to provide participants with a comprehensive understanding of the latest advancements in breast radiology and is designed to fulfill the breast imaging credits applicable to the MQSA accreditation requirements. Attendees will benefit from a blend of didactic lectures and interactive case sessions, all led by renowned experts from leading institutions. This immersive educational experience will cover cutting-edge topics such as advanced imaging techniques, diagnosis of breast disease, innovations in mammography, MRI, and ultrasound for screening and diagnosis, as well as the full patient care pathway from screening to recovery. Real-world applications and case studies will offer practical insights into the implementation of these techniques in clinical practice.
Radiologists and radiology residents/fellows, breast surgeons, sonographers, radiology technologists and advanced practitioners who desire to learn, in depth, how to use breast imaging in a clinical practice setting for screening, diagnosis and staging of breast disease.

“Welcome to National Diagnostic Imaging Symposium 2024! Delivered by the leading Radiologists in the field, we are excited to present this comprehensive five-day symposium at Disney’s Yacht Club Resort in sunny, beautiful Florida. The in-depth lectures – geared toward diagnostic radiologists in clinical practice – are packed with high-yield tips and pearls for the busy radiologist. All sessions include case-based presentations with ample time set aside for questions and answers, and for you to informally meet and interact with our faculty. We promise you an unforgettable learning experience and look forward to having you join us in December 2024.” Elliot K.Fishman
We’re excited to introduce our new 5-Day Emergency Radiology Track designed as a focused track for those who provide radiology services in emergency departments and other critical care locations. We hope if you have not attended the National Diagnostic Imaging Symposium before you will find our meeting to be of the highest quality while you will also have time off in the afternoons to visit all that Disney and the surrounding attractions in Orlando have to offer.
For our loyal attendees who have been with us before – the Emergency Radiology Day has always been popular. No matter what ballroom was opposite, folks told us their wish to not miss any of the lectures in either ballroom. Hence, we included ER lecture topics as part of each day for comprehensive coverage in all major radiology sub-specialties and added a session for Pediatric Emergency Radiology.
