Diffusion MRI of the Breast

Mami Iima, M.D., Ph.D. is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Diagnostic Imaging and Nuclear Medicine at Kyoto University Graduate School of Medicine, and the Institute for Advancement of Clinical and Translational Science (iACT), Kyoto University Hospital, Japan. Dr. Iima is a breast radiologist who has received many awards and published important articles about diffusion and IVIM MRI in the breast, and a comprehensive breast DWI review. She is an active committee member in Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) and International Society for Magnetic Resonance in Medicine (ISMRM). Savannah C. Partridge, Ph.D. is a Professor in the Departments of Radiology and Bioengineering, and the Research Director for Breast Imaging at the University of Washington School of Medicine. She is also the Associate Director of Cancer Imaging at the Seattle Cancer Care Alliance in Seattle, Washington, USA. Dr. Partridge is a leading expert in technique optimization and clinical validation of diffusion MRI of the breast. She is an active member in multiple international cancer and imaging cooperative groups and has led two large multi-institutional breast DWI clinical trials through the Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group - American College of Radiology Imaging Network (ECOG-ACRIN). Denis Le Bihan, MD, PhD, is the Founding Director of NeuroSpin in Saclay, France. He's a Member of the Institute of France, Visiting Professor of Kyoto University Graduate School of Medicine, at Kyoto Prefectural University of Medicine and the Japan National Institute of Physical Sciences, Okazaki, Japan. Dr. Le Bihan, a radiologist and physicist, pioneered diffusion MRI and the IVIM method in the 1980s, for which he has received many important awards. His is a member of the French Academy of Sciences, Academy of Technologies, Academy of Pharmacy and the Academy of Medicine. With Julia Camps-Herrero he co-founded the "Breast DWI Club” of the European Society of Breast Imaging (EUSOBI).
