UPenn Breast & Body Imaging at the Beach 2025 (Videos + Slides)
During the first three days of this program, the focus will be on improving breast image interpretation using practical methods and investigating emerging imaging modalities for personalized screening and diagnosis. It will explore innovative approaches beyond traditional methods like digital mammography and tomosynthesis, including contrast-enhanced mammography and full/abbreviated breast MRI for supplemental screening. Moreover, it will address the integration of Artificial Intelligence in breast imaging and novel techniques for assessing breast cancer risk. Daily case conferences will prioritize strategies for enhancing patient outcomes and refining breast imaging practices.
The final two days of the course delve into common and uncommon disease processes encountered in abdominal imaging. Through didactic lectures and case review, attendees will learn practical approaches to tackling challenging cases, prioritizing overarching strategies.
