The latest on contrast media examinations in breast imaging
About this session
The benefit of contrast media-based imaging in breast diagnostics has been an ongoing topic of clinical discussion in recent years and has called for a variety of multi-faceted discussions in the physicians' community.
We will approach the topic by first highlighting the frequently changing recommendations in the guidelines for screening dense breasts.
Renowned experts in the fields of ultrasound, mammography, and magnetic resonance imaging will then bring you up to date on the clinical and scientific results of contrast media examinations.
