Las Vegas Breast Imaging Conference: Beyond Detection (Oct 05 - 06, 2024)
Las Vegas Breast Imaging Conference: Beyond Detection is organized by Medical Technology Management Institute (MTMI) and will be held from Oct 05 - 06, 2024.
Description:
Our popular (28th Annual) Breast Imaging Conference has moved to Las Vegas!
Revitalize your passion for breast imaging in this dynamic conference designed for technologists! Dive into topics like Breast Cancer in Minorities and strategies for enhancing Breast Ultrasound reproducibility from the physician's viewpoint. Explore the evolving landscape of Contrast-Enhanced Mammography and gain empathetic insights into a patient's journey post-diagnosis with a passionate (and funny!) oncoplastic breast surgeon. Join our technologist-led sessions covering essential areas such as Mammography and Breast Ultrasound Correlation, Breast Navigation, Positioning tips and tricks, and a sneak peek into the History of MQSA.
This new location brings some new speakers to our program as well as some well-loved speakers from past conferences. We are excited to debut breast imaging radiologist Dr.Tanya Moseley from The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, TX, and breast imaging radiologist Calin Caluser from Rush Copley Hospital in Aurora, IL
Educational Objectives:
At the conclusion of the program, attendees will:
• Understand the statistics of breast cancer in minorities and new recommendations for screening.
• Discuss the rise of breast cancer in women below the age of 40 and what it means for women of the future.
• Learn about mammography technologists as breast imaging navigators and how to bring a breast navigation program to your breast imaging departments.
• Understand breast calcifications: features of benign and malignant calcifications from the radiologist's perspective.
• Learn tips and tricks of mammographic positioning and how the smallest moves can make the biggest improvements in image quality.
• Be introduced to the art & science of oncoplastic surgery which is an approach to surgical procedures for breast cancer patients that improves cosmetic outcomes after mastectomies.
• Learn how contrast-enhanced mammography is making its place in breast imaging departments.
• Explore interesting cases that will pull together multi-imaging modalities.
• Review case studies explaining the correlation between breast ultrasound and mammography.
• Learn about new technology that helps both technologists and radiologists with reproducibility and breast ultrasound.
