We would like to kindly invite you to take part in a self-assessment/training set. The IMPROVE scheme is a self-assessment and training scheme designed for breast screening readers. It involves the distribution of test sets containing challenging breast screening cases, including normal, benign, and abnormal mammograms. The scheme will be available for webinar registrants from beginning of September until October 29.The information to create your account on the PERFORMS platform will be sent beginning of September. Each participant will receive a unique username and password to log in to their personal PERFORMS portal, ensuring confidentiality.A set of 30 de-identified FFDM breast screening images, including one practice case, will be distributed for participants to load to their workstation.Participants will then, at their own convenience but within the designated timeframe, examine a set of 30 two-view FFDM cases on their mammographic workstation and report their various decisions on each case into the PERFORMS online reporting software. For participants without access to a mammography workstation, the images can be viewed on their PC with a DICOM viewer installed. Participants have the flexibility to start, stop, and re-start whenever they wish.

The Breast Cancer Online Workshop is a comprehensive case-based course aimed to promote the use of volume-based planning in breast cancer. As delineation of target volumes is a critical part of radiation therapy planning workflow, the course focuses on hands-on interactive experience with leading experts in the field of breast cancer and radiation oncology. Participants are asked to delineate a case according to ESTRO breast cancer delineation guidelines, and during the course the participants' delineations are compared to the teachers’ delineations while discussing the differences.  The course aims to reduce variability and inconsistency in delineation and provides tools to identify the volumes on imaging, mainly CT simulation. At the workshop you will learn about elective nodal irradiation, tumour boost volume, and how delineation matters for the dose to organs at risk, toxicity, and radiation treatment planning. The workshop is a great opportunity to learn tricks and tips for target volume definition and delineation in breast cancer, and discuss clinical challenges in radiation therapy for breast cancer.
