Let's Talk: Contrast Enhanced Mammography with Stereotactic Biopsy

Ryan Gabriel, MD
Director of Breast Imaging
Henrico Doctors’ Hospital 
Richmond, VA 

In this CME presentation, Dr. Gabriel will share his experience with contrast enhanced stereotactic biopsy as a novel method to biopsy enhancing lesions seen on contrast enhanced mammography. He will describe the procedure of contrast enhanced stereotactic biopsy, including similarities and differences with traditional stereotactic biopsy. He will also demonstrate how contrast enhanced stereotactic biopsy can be used as an alternative to MRI guided biopsy.

Upon completion of this lecture, participants will be able to:

  • Understand how CEM can be used in clinical practice
  • Review biopsy techniques for sampling CEM identified lesions
  • Introduce the concept of CEM Biopsy
  • Review how CEM biopsy is performed including limitations
