Elevate Your Imaging Skills - A Deep Dive into Contrast Enhanced Mammography for Technologists

Faculty:

Shonda Butler RT (CT) MR) CIIP
Bayer Clinical Strategic Manager

Terri Shaffer, R.T. (R)(M)
Hologic Field Product Specialist

This activity is designed to provide an in-depth overview of contrast enhanced mammography (CEM), its applications, and the necessary skills for technologists to effectively utilize it in clinical practice. Expert presenters will discuss how CEM differs from traditional mammography, will delve into its benefits and limitations, and will discuss situations where CEM is particularly useful. Expect to take a detailed look at the equipment needed for CEM, in particular the injector and mammography system. Attendees will leave this session with an understanding of CEMs space in clinical practice, clinical benefits, workflow changes and efficiencies, and how CEM can expand patient offerings, ultimately enhancing the quality of patient care.

At the completion of the course the participant will be able to:

• Appreciate angiogenesis and tumor formation and growth
• Understand the fundamentals of CEM
• Identify clinical scenarios where CEM is particularly beneficial and discuss the role of CEM in the detection and diagnosis of breast cancer, especially in patients with dense breasts
• Recognize the proper setup and utilization of CEM equipment
• Gain knowledge about CEM clinical applications and considerations, ultimately leading to improved patient outcomes
