This webinar is designed provide a comprehensive review 
of evidence-based practices and data that highlights 
power of CEM technology, on its own and when compared 
to other modalities. Expert faculty will delve into 
evidence-based practices, highlighting the diagnostic 
efficacy, patient care, and workflow efficiency associated 
with CEM. Faculty will also discuss advantages, 
limitations, and clinical evidence when comparing CEM 
and MRI. Considerations such as clinical indications, 
patient-specific factors, economics, and resource 
availability will be reviewed to provide a framework for 
when to use each modality. Attendees will leave this 
session with an understanding of CEM's place in current 
practice, clinical benefits, patient satisfaction, and 
workflow efficiencies, ultimately enhancing the quality of 
breast cancer care.

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

1. Review breast density, why it is important and how it affects diagnosis​

2. Examine the challenges in assessing density and what tools are available in determining breast density​

3. Discuss advanced tools for managing the dense breast patient: ​

• CEM vs MRI​

• How patients are triaged​

• CEM and MRI evidence-based research discussion​

• CEM biopsy
