EUSOBI Mammography & beyond Course
With a special focus on AI
COURSE DESCRIPTION
The EUSOBI Mammography & beyond Course aims to give a thorough overview of different Mammography (MG) based techniques like tomosynthesis, contrast enhanced MG, synthetic MG and CT of the breast. Beside fundamental technical considerations, results of different ongoing clinical trials will be presented and training on different MG based techniques will be provided. Theoretical lectures will be enhanced by hands-on workshops on systems provided by different vendors. The course has limited access in order to ensure that each participant has the possibilty to work with different MG based techniques.
Educational outcome
Over the course of 2 days, experts in mammography based imaging will:
- provide up-to-date reviews on the use of mammograpy, tomosynthesis and the value of contrast enhancement
- provide up-to-date information on quality control and dose issues on 2D Mammography and DBT
- emphasise the basic principles for mammography, tomosynthesis and the value of contrast enhancement
- utilize interactive teaching & problem-solving case presentation
- employ workshops to allow hands-on experience of mammography, tomosynthesis and the value of contrast enhancement

Workshop description:
This workshop will give an interactive deep dive into photon-counting breast CT imaging. Prof. Andreas Boss and his team from University Hospital Zurich will provide first-hand insight into the clinical applications and image reading – including native scans, contrast-enhanced imaging and an outlook on AI techniques by b-rayZ. As this is hands-on, participants will be encouraged to try the diagnostic reading themselves.

Workshop description:
The objective of this 90-minute workshop is to provide participants the fundamental knowledge of contrast mammography in clinical practice and introducing the specifics of CEM images through a selection of cases with training value. After a presentation of the technology and current published evidence the workshop will focus on case review. The participant will be given the opportunity to review selected cases and discuss these as part of the interactive session of the workshop

Selecting and deploying AI for real-world clinical practise

Workshop description:
Introducing AI into breast screening workflows to support radiologists can enable a higher level of diagnostic performance whilst also improving operational efficiency and dramatically improving patient experience. However, when it comes to safely and effectively adopting this new technology, an understanding of its unique risks, benefits and evidence requirements are crucial to recognising what ‘best practice’ to aim for. Through a series of presentations, case studies and a guided reading session with real-world clinical cases, this workshop will demonstrate how Kheiron is de-risking AI adoption in breast screening through deployments and unique clinical studies.
