Breast screening programs have been a key topic of discussion for nearly 50 years. New findings from scientific studies combined with technological advancements continue to spark new debates. It often feels like every answered question raises two new ones.
While we may not solve the complex challenges of achieving ideal breast screening during this symposium, renowned breast radiologists will contribute to the ongoing development of personalized screening programs by sharing their experiences with current breast examination techniques:
•Breast tomosynthesis for screening average-risk women
•Contrast enhanced imaging (CEM and MRI) for intermediate and high-risk patients
•The use of super high frequency ultrasound probe
Advances in Breast Screening - Introduction
- Breast tomosynthesis for screening average-risk women
- Contrast enhanced imaging (CEM and MRI) for intermediate and high-risk patients
- The use of super high frequency ultrasound probe
TiCEM for screening intermediate risk patients
DBT in women with average risk
- To know the literature evidence to use DBT for breast screening
- To understand the main limitations that explain the absence of implementation in many countries
- To explore the next future with AI implementation
The clinical utility of super high frequency ultrasound probes in breast examinations – benefits and limitations
- Discuss the clinical application of Siemens Healthineers’ new super high-frequency ultrasound probe, the “HLX”
- Compare images obtained with the conventional breast frequency probe (15 Mhz) and the HLX (> 20 Mhz)
- Discuss limitations of the use of this super high frequency probe
The evolving role of MRI in breast cancer screening
- Review recent advances in Breast Cancer screening and International Recommendations: understand the role of Breast MRI
- Understand the need for Abbreviated Breast MRI
- Discuss innovations in Breast MRI: Ultrafast dynamic breast MRI in clinical practice and a glimpse into the future
