Dear colleagues,
Dear friends,

With 450+ registrations from 55+ countries around the globe our symposium on “Contrast enhanced mammography (CEM)” with Jonathan James was a huge success.

The Highlight of our symposium was Jonathan’s key not lecture and hands on case discussion. Jonathan 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 programme and the background of our symposium on this page. You will also find the videos (coming soon) 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

The use of contrast-enhanced mammography (CEM) can lead to improvements in the diagnostic accuracy for symptomatic women by providing superior sensitivity and specificity compared to standard mammography. Women achieve the greatest benefit from CEM when integrated routinely into a symptomatic ‘One-Stop’ breast clinic.
At our symposium we will review the CEM technique and look at how it can be integrated successfully into your workflow. We will review some cases from symptomatic practice of our key note speaker Jonathan James. Finally, we will discuss recent developments in the technique including CEM guided breast biopsy. A significant part of the symposium will be devoted to the interactive discussion. Here we will discuss all your question and you will receive real time feedback!
