EUSOBI Contrast-Enhanced Mammography (CEM) Course 2024

EUSOBI Contrast-Enhanced Mammography (CEM) Course 2024 is organized by European Society of Breast Imaging (EUSOBI) and will be held from Dec 13 - 14, 2024 at Grand Hotel Prague, Prague, Czech Republic.

Course Description:
The EUSOBI Contrast-Enhanced Mammography (CEM) Course 2024 is an intensive exploration of CEM as an innovative, sensitive, and cost-effective technique for breast imaging. This program is designed to offer a comprehensive understanding of CEM, combining theoretical lectures, expert-led discussions, and interactive workshops. It covers the essentials of CEM, from its fundamental physics and the use of iodine-based contrast agents to practical procedures and image interpretation. The course also highlights the challenges of artifacts, common pitfalls, and errors, along with insights into diverse clinical applications and CEM-guided interventions. Furthermore, it discusses the evolving role of AI and quantitative imaging in CEM, current research trends, and ongoing clinical trials. With limited enrollment, the course ensures ample opportunity for practical experience, fostering a solid understanding of CEM.

Educational Outcome:
Over the course of 2 days, experts in Contrast-Enhanced Mammography (CEM) will:

• Provide up-to-date reviews on the use and technical foundations of CEM, including physics, iodine-based contrast agents, and image interpretation.
• Deliver current information on quality assurance, common artifacts, pitfalls, and errors in CEM.
• Highlight the varied clinical applications of CEM, from screening and follow-up to pre-operative staging and neoadjuvant chemotherapy.
• Utilize interactive teaching, expert discussions, and problem-solving case presentations to enhance learning.
• Facilitate workshops to foster practical skills and deepen participants’ understanding of CEM.
