Mission
To save life years and improve quality of life through early detection of breast cancer, to promote excellence in breast imaging and quality education as well as to provide trusted information provided to patients, physicians, and organizations across Canada.
About CSBI
The idea of forming a group dedicated to breast imaging in Canada has been going on for some time. Professionals interested in breast imaging have been engaged in the European Society of Breast Imaging as well as the Society of Breast Imaging in the United States. Recognizing that there was a need for a place to discuss uniquely Canadian issues related to breast imaging, the CSBI was founded in October 2017 with the support of the CAR. Founding members include senior leading breast imagers from across the country including: Drs. Jean Seely (Ontario), Nancy Wadden (Newfoundland), Shiela Appavoo (Alberta), Anabel Scaranelo (Ontario), Yves Loisel (Quebec) and Paula Gordon (British Columbia).
The CSBI is a home for Canadian breast imaging professionals and patients to discuss best practices, pressures on the system and to celebrate successes. The CSBI will also be a focused vehicle to bring breast imaging stories from Canada to the rest of the world and vice versa.
Purpose
- to establish a society for the improvement and dissemination of breast imaging
- to promote high quality breast imaging that is patient centered
- to improve the quality of medical education in the practice of breast imaging
- to foster research in all aspects of breast imaging

- to establish a channel for publication of scientific reports in the field of breast imaging; and
- to respond to public / media inquiries concerning breast imaging.
