Education & Training

Discover how Terri-Ann Gizienski, MD, Chief of the Clinical Breast Division of UPMC, PA, seamlessly incorporated Genius AI™ Detection solution (Hologic's 3D™ AI) into her practice and she is not looking back!  Dr. Gizienski shares insights on how this cutting-edge technology leverages deep learning to provide tools and data to help her make clinical decisions and drive workflow efficiencies. She provides real-life examples on how she uses it with her team and ways that may be implemented at your facility.  Dr. Gizienski also walks through a few cases to show Genius AI™ Detection solution in action and how it assisted her in providing the best care possible.

Learning Objectives | At the conclusion of this presentation, the participant will be able to: 1. Review the main literature published on the benefits and effectiveness of Breast Tomosynthesis 2. Review the life span of Breast Tomosynthesis until present 3. Compare the effectiveness of Breast Tomosynthesis as it relates to breast density and a comparison to ultrasound 

In this CME/CE presentation, Dr. Gabriel will share his experience with contrast enhanced stereotactic biopsy as a novel method to biopsy enhancing lesions seen on contrast enhanced mammography. He will describe the procedure of contrast enhanced stereotactic biopsy, including similarities and differences with traditional stereotactic biopsy. He will also demonstrate how contrast enhanced stereotactic biopsy can be used as an alternative to MRI guided biopsy. Upon completion of this lecture, participants will be able to: Understand how CEM can be used in clinical practice Review biopsy techniques for sampling CEM identified lesions Introduce the concept of CEM Biopsy Review how CEM biopsy is performed including limitations

In this CME presentation, Dr. Smith-Foley will discuss how technology evolves in breast imaging, the ability to detect small early-stage cancers improves. The importance of making an accurate tissue diagnosis of these early cancers is essential for successful patient outcomes. Minimally invasive diagnostic biopsy procedures, such as fine-needle aspirations, core needle biopsies, and vacuum-assisted biopsies have replaced previous surgical/excisional methods. In this webinar, there will be a focus on stereotactic vacuum-assisted biopsies with real-time specimen imaging with collection and separation. Case examples will be reviewed to highlight these technologies working together to demonstrate improved workflow efficiencies. Upon completion of this lecture, participants will be able to: Discuss the benefits of incorporating real-time specimen radiography into the breast biopsy operatory Understand how emerging technology and technique improves efficiency and accuracy when collecting core samples Optimize pathology workflow using specimen radiography and interdisciplinary collaboration

Dr. Smith-Foley presents the clinical benefits of advanced biopsy techniques, specifically for vacuum assisted biopsy devices. The presentation will cover different biopsy modalities, pros and cons of vacuum assisted devices, and case review.

Listen in on the conversation between a radiologist and a breast surgeon as they discuss their perspectives and experiences with localization options for patients undergoing breast conserving surgery or excisional biopsy.  Hear how Dr. Colleen Madden and Dr. Michele Blackwood both use wire-free localization to communicate between specialties, how it can improve the patient experience and may help foster precision in oncoplastic surgery.

An international panel discussion on the past ten years of tomosynthesis and the new advancements in breast imaging. Panelists will discuss tomosynthesis, 3D guided biopsies, dense breasts, high resolution imaging, and artificial intelligence.

This 1-hour educational program will discuss the compassionate breast biopsy story with pairing together, the Brevera® breast biopsy system and the Affirm® Prone biopsy guidance system. Learn from expert faculty how these technologies together accelerate the speed and efficiency of prone biopsy procedures to further reduce the patient’s time under compression and impact overall experience. Speaker: Krystal Airola, MD

Presented by Sarah M. Friedewald, MD, FACR, this webinar awards 1 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™ for physicians and 1 Category A CE credit. Artificial intelligence is a common buzz word used in the global medical imaging community which has many practical implications. In this CME presentation an experienced radiologist shares the basics of AI to provide more understanding of artificial intelligence terminology, discuss the differences between AI and CAD and explore its’ application in medical imaging. Upon completion of this lecture, participants will be able to: Learn the differences between AI and CAD Understand the advantages of AI in breast imaging Learn the pitfalls of AI and how to avoid them Optimize practice to improve cancer detection with AI Provided by World Class CME

Presented by Ryan Gabriel, MD, this webinar awards 1 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™ for physicians and 1 Category A CE credit. Upon completion of this activity, the participant will be able to: Adopt and implement contrast enhanced mammography in the participant’s practice Apply the applications of contrast enhanced mammography into the participant’s practice Perform contrast enhanced stereotactic biopsy in the participant’s practice Provided by World Class CME

High Resolution with 3DQuorum® technology Case Review. This interactive hands-on case review module will walk you through 20 patient cases in a simulating workstation environment. Each case in this set includes: Intelligent 2D™ synthesized images, Hologic Clarity HD® 1mm high resolution tomosynthesis slices, and 3DQuorum® 6mm SmartSlices. The exams were acquired with both 1mm and 6mm data: therefore you will be able to compare side-by-side the different tomosynthesis slices for the exact image. Along with the full resolution DICOM images, you will have access to interpretive tools and pathology information.

This one-hour training webinar will focus on the Enhancing Quality Using the Inspection Program (EQUIP) initiative. Participants will learn about the requirements of EQUIP and expectations for compliance. The webinar will include an interactive demonstration on how Unifi™ EQUIP, a software platform that facilitates efficient EQUIP compliance and image quality improvement, can be utilized to automate a facility’s EQUIP workflow. At the end of this activity the learner should be able to recognize components of the EQUIP initiative, how Unifi™ EQUIP can facilitate efficient compliance and foster a continued focus on image quality improvement, and how to leverage actionable business insights through Unifi™ Analytics to optimize staff performance. This activity has been approved by ASRT for 1.0 Category A Credit
