Dear colleagues,
dear friends,

with 450+ registrations from 60+ countries around the globe our symposium on “Contrast enhanced mammography (CEM)” with Marc Lobbes was a huge success.

The Highlight of our symposium was Doctor Marc Lobbe’s key not lecture. Marc shared his profound expertise in CEM with us and outlined the future role of CEM for breast cancer care.

Together with our large global audience we discussed all your questions during the final interactive discussion.

Find out more about the program and the background of our symposium on this page. You will also find the videos of the event.

Stay tuned with us and watch out for the next edition of our “CEM Symposium” series.

Yours,
Pascal Baltzer and Matthias Dietzel

Outline

At our symposium we will review the principle on CEM and how to acquire and read state-of-art images using this approach. The key note lecture of Doctor Lobbes will mainly focus on the clinical implementation of CEM in everyday clinical practice, especially with respect to preoperative staging of breast cancer, including invasive lobular breast cancer, and the differences with breast MRI.
Also, Doctor Lobbes will discuss the ability of CEM as problem-solver in inconclusive findings at mammography and ultrasound, for example in women that were recalled from breast cancer screening.
As an example, Doctor Lobbes will share his experiences with ‘the Zuyderland Breast Center workflow’, in which CEM plays a pivotal role together with 24-hour pathology diagnosis, daily multidisciplinary tumour board meetings and a closely collaborating group of breast specialists.

Objectives

1

to learn the underlying principle and imaging protocol of state-of-art CEM
2

to learn where, in preoperative staging of breast cancer, CEM would suffice and which indications and cases would remain to evaluate with breast MRI
3

to learn how CEM can be used as problem-solving modality, especially in women recalled from breast cancer screening, and
4

how to fully benefit from CEM in a dedicated clinical workflow.

What our par­tic­i­pants say

„

Thank you so much for all your efforts making it possible to attend your most up to date courses with the BEST speakers. So that already being an experienced breast imager, I can still learn new things. Knowledge that leads to better outcomes and improved diagnosis for my patients. Everything is designed at the SOR to help us learn new skills at our own pace. Courses are suited to all skill levels, with so many tips and tricks to work. Although there is still a disparity between health systems around the world, you CONNECT US ALL. Even, if we don’t have the latest equipment to our hand. So, everybody can learn! Every course is an enlightening and fun experience: Easy and simple to understand. And most: Every question is being answered. It is priceless to read a pe rsonal feedback only for me, with all the explanations what I asked and even more! Thank you, for the special opportunities the SOR has given to me.
