BIEDX CEM MINI FELLOWSHIP 2025

Course Description:

Contrast-Enhanced Mammography (CEM) has rapidly gained importance as a cost-effective and accessible alternative to MRI in the evaluation of breast lesions. This mini fellowship is meticulously designed to help radiologists understand the principles, protocols, interpretation patterns, and clinical applications of CEM.

Under the mentorship of leading breast imaging faculty, participants will learn:

• The technical fundamentals of CEM — including contrast protocols, acquisition parameters, and patient preparation.

• Interpretation skills for differentiating benign from malignant enhancement patterns.

• The diagnostic value of CEM in preoperative assessment, screening of high-risk patients, and evaluating inconclusive mammographic findings.

• Hands-on exposure to curated real-world CEM cases with structured reading sessions.

• Integration strategies — how to incorporate CEM into existing mammography practice effectively and safely.

This program emphasizes practical learning, case-based interpretation, and protocol optimization, enabling participants to confidently report CEM studies and make evidence-based clinical decisions.
