Education & Training

Hear perspectives from leading radiologists on how they select the right localization technique for their patients. Faculty will review several options offered by Hologic, including LOCalizer™ Wire-free Guidance System, Tuloc™ Localization Wire & Tuflex™ Thread Marker, including case review.

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 being used in mammography. Upon completion of this lecture, participants will be able to: 1.Understand the clinical benefit of AI in mammography. 2. Describe how mammography AI information is utilized in mammography interpretation. 3. Describe how mammography AI can improve radiologist workflow.   Samir B. Patel, MD, CCD, DABR, FACR Radiology, Inc. Value Management Program Director Beacon Health System Board of Directors   World Class CME designates this enduring material for a maximum of 1 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™. Physicians should claim only the credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity. The American Society of Radiologic Technologists Credit has approved this activity.

In this CME/CE presentation, Dr. Gizienski will discuss how AI can enhance mammography, increase workflow and create a better patient experience. Upon completion of this lecture, participants will be able to: Understand new AI technology in breast imaging Utilize AI to increase efficiencies in your practice Understand how AI can be used by technologists to help with workflow and patient access   1 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™ 1 Category A Credit

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.
