Que es la técnica, indicaciones y la forma de proceder para revisar biopsia bajo tomosintesis con sistema affirm Facultad: Dr. Javier Rodriguez Lucero

Join leading breast radiologists, Khai Tran, M.D., National Consortium of Breast Centers, President-Elect, and Margarita L. Zuley, M.D., FSBI, Society of Breast Imaging, Immediate Past President, for an engaging discussion, hosted by Hologic, featuring leading society perspectives on key learnings, insights and best practices for the resumption of breast imaging during the COVID-19 pandemic. You will have the opportunity to submit questions in advance and engage with your peers as we discuss current challenges and learnings as you resume screening.  

Join leading breast radiologists, Dr. Sally Friedewald, Dr. Stamatia Destounis, and Dr. Regina Hooley for a dynamic discussion, hosted by Hologic, on re-establishing breast health services in light of the COVID-19 pandemic. You'll have the opportunity to submit questions in advance and engage with your peers as we discuss new challenges and considerations for the future.  

Listen in for a discussion on techniques for delivering stereotactic breast irradiation and updated ASTRO guidelines on hyperfractionated APBI, along with a comprehensive clinical data review. Presented by Dr. Asal Rahimi

Dr. Lisa Mullen and Dr. Mehran Habibi, both of Johns Hopkins, present an overview of traditional and new localization options for patients who are undergoing Breast Conserving Surgery (lumpectomy) or excisional biopsy and share their clinical experiences. The benefits of various wire and non-wire localization technologies with a focus on ways to improve workflow and maximize efficiencies are discussed.

This video demonstrates a sentinel lymph node biopsy. The patient had Grade 2 invasive ductal carcinoma at 1 ocl where clinical exam did not reveal the mass. In this example, the surgeon uses a TruNode™ Single-use Gamma Probe System. Presented by Dr. Linda Han

This brief video demonstrates a sentinel lymph node biopsy using the TruNode™ Single-use Gamma Probe System on a patient with Grade 2 invasive lobular carcinoma of the upper inner quadrant. Presented by Dr. Linda Han

Improved technology has created multiple new ways of localizing non-palpable breast lesions.  This activity will educate surgeons on the various options available for wireless localization.  We will educate the surgeon on choosing which system works best for their patient, as well as the techniques that need to be used to perform these procedures in their practice. Upon completion of this lecture, participants will be able to: Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of wire vs wire-free breast tumor localization for surgical guidance​ Describe techniques for wire-free localization in the breast​ Explain the use of wire-free localization and neoadjuvant treatment​ Understand the impact of wire-free localization on oncoplastic breast surgery techniques   FACULTY/PROGRAM DIRECTOR Valerie Gorman, MD, FACS

This module reviews cases in which the Affirm® Prone Biopsy System and its tomosynthesis guided technology are used to improve the procedure of identifying and biopsying areas of architectural distortions.

This module discusses the benefit of the 3D™ biopsy guidance system and describes the approach for biopsy of a lesion found only by tomosynthesis.

This module discusses challenging cases in which the Affirm® Prone Biopsy System helped improve the efficiency of the biopsy procedure.
