General description, scope and objectives of this webinar

The programme of this webinar will cover developments in intermediate risk screening (including dense breasts). It is aimed at breast radiologists, radiology residents/juniors, medical or PhD students, nuclear medicine physicians or radiation therapists who want to improve their skills in:

• Understanding risk factors contributing to intermediate-risk categorization, with a focus on dense breast tissue and its implications for breast cancer screening.
• Exploring advancements in imaging technologies, such as tomosynthesis, contrast-enhanced mammography, and abbreviated MRI, for effective screening in intermediate-risk populations.
• Interpreting screening guidelines and recommendations, including updates tailored to patients with dense breasts.
• Applying radiomics and artificial intelligence to improve detection accuracy and personalize screening strategies.

After watching the webinar, participants will be able to:

• Recognize the challenges associated with screening intermediate-risk patients, particularly those with dense breast tissue, and understand their unique imaging needs.
• Implement state-of-the-art screening techniques to improve sensitivity and specificity in intermediate-risk populations.
• Evaluate emerging evidence and integrate innovations like AI and radiomics into routine practice for enhanced diagnostic performance.
• Advocate for patient-centered care by incorporating individualized risk assessments and tailored imaging protocols.
