Education & Training

Upon completion of this lecture, participants will be able to:  1) Understand the difference between Full Field Digital Mammography (DM) and Digital Breast Tomosynthesis (DBT), including DM limitations 2) Understand why DBT has become a transformative technology in breast cancer detection and reduction of recall rate 3) Visually understand how DBT can be useful in the detection of subtle mammographic lesions and architectural distortion in comparison to DM through case examples

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/CE presentation Dr. Smith-Foley will demonstrate the clinical utility of elastography ultrasound for benign and malignant breast lesions. Ultrasound elastography increases both the sensitivity and specificity when added to gray scale analysis. It can be used for biopsy guidance, to define extent of disease and for monitoring treatment response. Upon completion of this lecture, participants will be able to: 1. Discuss the evolution of advanced ultrasound technology in breast imaging and review emerging data. 2. Describe the impact and utility of advanced ultrasound tools in clinical practice. 3. Review case examples of elastography in clinical practice.

Learn how to use ShearWave™ Elastography as a non-invasive tool with diffuse liver diseases and how it helps in the diagnosis of liver fibrosis. Speaker will review published evidence for the use of ShearWave™ Elastography in managing patients with diffuse liver diseases and tips to apply in your clinical practice. Faculty: Victor de Lédinghen MD, PhD

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.

Faculty: Kathy Schilling, MD Lynn Women's Health & Wellness Institute, Boca Raton, FL Objectives: Learn about the performance and applications of shearwave elastography (SWE) in breast ultrasound Hear about ‘Tips and tricks’ for optimal use of SWE in the clinical setting Review emerging data/relevant peer-reviewed studies focused on use of elastography in breast lesion assessment

A multidisciplinary panel discuss the patient journey from breast screening through survivorship.  The panel includes a breast surgeon, breast radiologist, and radiation oncologist. They discuss best practices and communicating between disciplines as the patient goes through screening, diagnosis, and treatment   Faculty: Barry Rosen, MD, Kevin Kirshenbaum, MD, Rakesh Patel, MD

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
