The Science Behind EUSOBI’s New Dense Breast Recommendations
This Spring —in light of new study results—the European Society of Breast Imaging announced a major policy change: “EUSOBI will now recommend MRI screening in women with extremely dense breasts.” Together, we’ll dive into the volumetric breast density tool used and the clinical results from the Dense Tissue and Early Breast Neoplasm Screening (DENSE) Trial that provided the key evidence behind the new recommendations. That Trial has reported significant reductions in interval cancers, false positives, cost and patient anxiety. This Webinar will look at the science and methods of breast density and the wider study, and implications for clinical practice.
Access now ON-DEMAND to:
-
Understand the science behind volumetric breast density
-
Understand the masking and independent risk of dense breast tissue
-
Review the DENSE Trial study approach and findings
-
Review the EUSOBI recommendations
