Logo commemorating the 20th anniversary of IBUS

The International Breast Ultrasound School (IBUS)

was formed in 1991,

and we are now celebrating the 20th anniversary of its formation

We are fortunate to be in a position where we can be together,

and this is one of the greatest benefitsthat has resulted from the formation of the School

Along the way, we have achieved a great deal

and with the contributions of many colleagues

IBUS has become the leading international provider

of teaching programmes covering breast ultrasound

This is a great achievement when you reflect onthe resources at our disposal

Today IBUS is a recognized entity by the medical communityand industry throughout the world,

and teaching programmes have been held on all continents where regular courses can be held

IBUS consists of an international faculty

but I like to think of this as an

international family

The family has grown into more that 40 members,and many today have formed close bonds

as a result of a common goal driven by dedication and enthusiasm

As a family, we have achieved togetherand acquired an international reputation

for providing education at the highest possible levels

How IBUS came about !

The formation of IBUS culminated from discussions held between a group of “ultrasound” focused individuals

whose common goal was the teaching of ultrasound,and who foresaw the need for better structured education in the

rapidly advancing specialty of breast imaging

Aims of IBUS

1. to improve the standards of breast ultrasound for assessing the breast and its pathology,

2. to provide high-quality seminars and interactive workshops covering ultrasound, X–ray mammography, magnetic resonance imaging and other investigative techniques,

3. to evaluate the role of conventional and newer imaging techniques, and

4. to promote an international forum for the exchange of scientific information

The first meeting was held in Philadelphia in 1979, other meetings

followed in London (1981), Tokyo (1983), Sydney (1985), New Orleans (1987),

Paris (1989), Tokyo (1991), Heidelberg (1993), Indianapolis (1995), Lund (1997),

Seoul (1999), Venice (2001) and Kyoto (2003).

Scientific and clinical research meetings were held from 1979 onwards

until 2003

These meetings were structuredto promote education, dissemination of information

and stimulate further research and development

The International Association for Breast Ultrasoundwas formed in 1991 in order to provide

an administrative framework for future meetings

With the acceptance of breast ultrasound by the medical community,

the need for scientific meetings diminishedand more teaching programmes were required

A number of training centers

have been established in Europe

to provide high quality education

1. Ferrara, Italy

2. Zürich, Switzerland

3. Athens, Greece

These provide high quality teaching programmes

with uniform standards to satisfy international CME requirements
