Session 1

Breast Imaging
in the (post)COVID era

2:00 pm - 3:15 pm

Breast Imaging – General Impact and Recovery from COVID-19 Pandemic
Pr. Francesco Sardanelli, MD (Italy)
Through the example of the crisis management in a major healthcare group, this presentation will focus on the impacts of COVID-19 on breast imaging departments and the lessons learned from the ongoing crisis.
COVID-19 Pandemic and CESM
Dr. Maxine Jochelson, MD (USA)
and Dr. Anat Kornecki, MD (Canada)
COVID-19 pandemic increases the risk to expose patients, breast imaging technologists and radiologists to infection. Two presentations will explore the possibility of using CESM to streamline breast imaging with a “single exam” approach by combining anatomic and vascular imaging in one appointment.
Personalized Screening - Dense Breasts
- The BRAID trial
Pr. Fiona Gilbert, MD, PhD (UK)
A few major studies are currently evaluating the efficiency of risk-based screening. This presentation will focus on screening women with dense breasts.
PANEL DISCUSSION: 3:15 pm - 3:30 pm
Session 2

Shaping the future of Breast Care embracing innovations

3:40 pm - 5:00 pm

CESM work-up after screening recalls – impact on biopsy rate
Dr. Simone Schiaffino, MD (Italy)
Could CESM reduce the unnecessary biopsies? An exciting question this study will try to answer.
CESM-guided biopsy – Clinical Experience
Dr. Corinne Balleyguier MD, PhD (France)
and Dr. Anat Kornecki, MD (Canada)
Two of the very first users of the technique will share their clinical experience: what’s the place and the potential of this new technique?
Artificial intelligence and breast cancer screening
Pr. Isabelle Thomassin-Naggara, MD, PhD (France)
After a review of the current status of AI in breast cancer screening, this presentation will question the implications and obstacles the use of AI raises in the scientific community, before discussing current AI research directions in breast imaging.
PANEL DISCUSSION: 5:00 pm - 5:15 pm
