Course Description
Join Drs. Jordana Phillips and Olena Weaver for an expert-led deep dive into contrast-enhanced mammography (CEM). They’ll break down the fundamentals, advantages, and limitations of CEM—giving you the confidence to integrate it into your practice.
Start with Dr. Phillips’s comprehensive overview of CEM, including imaging protocols and key comparisons with conventional mammography and MRI. Learn where CEM fits best in clinical workflows, from cancer staging to evaluating treatment response and managing mammogram recalls. Plus, explore its exciting future potential.
Then, follow Dr. Weaver as she walks you through her expert, systematic approach to interpreting CEM cases, covering:
- Regional calcifications
- Fibrocystic changes
- Architectural distortions
- Invasive lobular & ductal carcinomas
- …and more!
Optimize your learning:
- Test Yourself - Before starting the video, launch the DICOM study and complete your independent review of the case in our diagnostic web viewer.
- Review at your own pace - Reminder to utilize the video player features to speed up or slow down the video, pause or rewind to best fit your available time and learning needs.
- Read alongside Dr. Weaver - Keep the DICOM study open while you watch Dr. Weaver review the cases. We suggest popping the DICOM viewer open in a new window and viewing side by side with the video on your screen.
Join Drs. Jordana Phillips and Olena Weaver as they review the fundamentals of contrast-enhanced mammography, its advantages and limitations, and their expert approach to interpreting CEM cases.
