Presented as part of RC715: Digital Breast Tomosynthesis

Participants

Laurie Lee Fajardo MD, MBA, Presenter: Scientific Advisory Board, Hologic, Inc Scientific Advisory Board, Koninklijke Philips NV

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

1) Review scientific literature on the performance of digital breast tomosynthesis in diagnostic and screening environments. 2) Review patterns of benign and malignant disease; provide tools to better discriminate “actionable” findings. 3) Apply digital breast tomosynthesis effectively to reduce false positives and false negatives and increase breast cancer detection.

ABSTRACT

This presentation will demonstrate approaches to the interpretation of digital breast tomosynthesis to cultivate a greater understanding of its use in both diagnostic and screening environments and the scientific evidence supporting each. Strategies and approaches to interpreting digital breast tomosynthesis will be discussed.
