In the fight to end breast cancer, the best defense is regular screening. To beat it, you must find it.  Find it early and your chances of winning are greater.  What’s needed is a mammography exam that goes wider and deeper in pursuit of the clinical data needed for a confident diagnosis. In this Expert Forum, Dr. Jennifer Doe will explore the value of wide-angle breast tomosynthesis and its effect on breast imaging.  Dr. Doe will offer a review of clinical cases using wide-angle technology.

The Impact of Wide-angle DBT in Mammography

**Attenzione, gli orari riportati nel PROGRAMMA (icona calendario) si riferiscono al fuso orario locale dell’utente. Il fuso orario ufficiale del Congresso è Central European Time (CET).**

L'Istituto Nazionale di Oceanografia e Geofisica Sperimentale - OGS e il Dipartimento di Matematica e Geoscienze dell'Università di Trieste sono orgogliosi di ospitare il 90° Congresso della Società Geologica Italiana a Trieste dal 14 al 16 settembre 2021. La modalità del congresso è interamente online.

Con il motto "Geologia senza frontiere" questo evento mira a promuovere le Scienze della Terra come disciplina scientifica proiettata nel futuro, oltre i confini geografici, politici e disciplinari, per comprendere meglio l'interno del Pianeta Terra e la struttura del sottosuolo, difendere la società da pericolosi eventi geologici, comprendere meglio la variabilità climatica, pianificare l'utilizzo delle georisorse in modo etico e nel rispetto dell'ambiente.

The National Institute of Oceanography and Experimental Geophysics - OGS and the Department of Mathematics and Geosciences of the University of Trieste are proud to host the 90th Congress of the Italian Geological Society in Trieste on 14-16 September 2021.  The Congress will be held entirely online.

With the motto "Geology Without Borders" this event aims to promote Earth Sciences as a scientific discipline projected into the future, beyond geographical, political and disciplinary boundaries, to better understand the interior of Planet Earth and the structure of the subsurface, defend society from dangerous geological events, better understand climatic variability, plan the use of geo-resources in an ethical way and respecting the environment.

SGI 2021

Earth Sciences should be understood not only as necessary for a better understanding of the interior of the planet Earth, but also as a defense of society from dangerous geological events, for the understanding of climatic variations, for the planning and use of georesources in a ethical and respecting and protecting the environment.

webinar

Dr. Laurie Fajardo shares her experience with the set-up and use of digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) in clinical practice.  Participants will hear about system design, the impact on clinical performance, and how to best manage recall rates. In addition through carefully selected cases, Dr. Fajardo will share her approach to image interpretation and how one can manage DBT workflow effectively.

The Foundation of Integrating DBT Into Your Practice

With the advent of spectral CT, a plethora of reconstructions are now available for image analysis and use in daily practice.  Please join Dr. Nils Große Hokamp from University Hospital Cologne in this Expert Forum Webinar where he will share fundamental concepts of spectral CT and image reconstruction for oncologic imaging through a case-based presentation. 

Rethinking Oncologic Imaging with Spectral CT

Dr. Laurie Fajardo discusses the importance of radiation dose reduction with synthetic 2D, reviews the published literature on the performance of synthetic 2D mammography, and shares how DBT can impact data storage and network data transmission across your PACS and enterprise system.

The Application of Integrating DBT Into Your Practice

Dr. Laurie Fajardo addresses the radiologist’s challenges associated with dense breast imaging and interpretation through discussion and case presentation of interval breast cancer.  This includes issues associated with assigning breast cancer risk to breast density and qualitative versus quantitative methods for assessing, and reporting breast density and risk assessment.

DBT, Breast Density, and Artificial Intelligence

In this Expert Forum, Dr. Susan Weinstein will discuss the utility and clinical value of Breast MRI in assessing treatment response in patients undergoing neoadjuvant therapy. 

Treatment Response Assessment with Breast MRI

Dr. Dean J. Phillips concludes by taking you step-by-step through interesting and challenging cases he has collected which highlight the benefits of digital breast tomosynthesis in identifying cancers missed on standard FFDM, particularly in patients with dense breasts. 

A Clinical Review: Benefits of Tomosynthesis in Daily Practice

This Expert Forum Webinar features a panel of experts in their respective areas of medical imaging including; Nuclear Medicine, Urology, and Oncology.  Each will share their experiences of the clinical utility of PSMA-11 PET/CT and its impact on patient management; delivering a clear understanding of the benefits of PSMA-11 imaging.

PSMA Imaging: Current Status & Prospects

CT scanning is a critical part of evaluating patients in the ED. Integrating spectral reconstructions into CT protocols can significantly improve patient outcomes by providing rapid and accurate diagnosis, which can help increase the radiologists’ confidence. By providing a window into physiologic alterations and tissue characterization beyond conventional CT, Spectral CT enables customized contrast protocols, which among many things; can help to reduce the likelihood of contrast induced nephropathy.

Spectral CT Utilization in the ED | Increasing Radiologists’ Confidence

Today, with such a wide selection of gadolinium-based contrast agents available to choose from; imaging professionals must be aware of the chemical make-up when selecting a MR agent for a particular exam. Lawrence N. Tanenbaum, MD, FACR, who will provide a review of the currently available FDA-approved MR contrast agents and their safety profiles. 

MR Contrast Agents: A Review of the Current Agents & Their Safety Profile

In this Expert Forum Webinar, Rick Banner, RT (R), Senior Director of Marketing, Fujifilm Medical Systems U.S.A., Inc. will share insights into the design of advanced CT platforms that are addressing today’s clinical challenges while reducing the total cost of ownership.  These advanced features will be supported by Dr. Lawrence N. Tanenbaum’s personal experience on how these advanced features are making a clinical difference in the day-to-day operations in busy imaging departments
