 As a teaching hospital, the CCI provides mammographic and breast ultrasound training to the Residents and the Diagnostic Radiology Program at the University of Alberta. Although breast MRI should be part of this training program, we currently do not have the necessary volume of breast MRI scans to provide Residents with adequate experience in this modality. The establishment of a breast MRI protocol, one which refers eligible CCI breast cancer patients for a pre-surgery MRI examination, will promote the development of expertise in this area, provide Residents with a comprehensive Breast program and keep the CCI at the leading edge of breast cancer care.
