Background



​NYBIS is a non-profit professional radiologic organization committed to providing a forum for the discussion of current and evolving practices and techniques in breast imaging. Our membership includes but is not limited to radiologists and technologists who have interest in and/or practice breast imaging. Currently we conduct six formal lectures during each academic year (Tuesday evenings, September to May) through which we aim to educate and update practicing physicians, technologists, and radiology trainees.


We provide lectures by specialists in the field of breast imaging and breast disease management. For paid NYBIS members, each meeting qualifies for 2 hours of category 1 continuing medical education (CME) credits for physicians and 2 hours of category A continuing education (CE) credits for technologists. This activity has been planned and implemented in accordance with the Essential Areas and Policies of the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME).This activity has also been planned and implemented in accordance with the American Society of Radiologic Technologists (ASRT) through the joint sponsorship with the NYBIS.​
