Overview
About this Webinar
Dual energy contrast mammography is an innovative breast imaging technique, that as statistically proven to detect lesions in women with both heterogeneously and homogenously dense breast through focal enhancement.
The purpose of this technology from the patient’s perspective is to increase early detection of breast cancers in a more accurate method, while maintaining cost efficiency. From the perspective of the radiologist CESM has the capacity to guide the radiologist to a more confident diagnosis. When comparing CESM to other treatment modalities, contrast enhanced spectral mammography provides more accurate and effective treatment options, while providing the best practice approach.
Educational Objectives
Upon completion of this presentation, the audience will be able to:
- Identify the limitations of low energy mammography.
- Describe the differences between Breast Tomosynthesis, Breast MRI vs. CESM and screening whole breast mammography.
- Explain the shift and progress of CESM in the United States from a diagnostic tool to a screening tool.
- Review the technical training involved for contrast enhanced Mammography.
- Understand the applications of this technology and the effect on patient care.
