Case Based Breast Review: CESM & MRI (2025)-T2-CBR0521-2025

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video features breast radiologists from Brazil, Japan, and the UK discussing advanced imaging techniques in breast cancer diagnosis and treatment planning. The main focus is on using contrast-enhanced mammography, MRI, and other imaging modalities to improve detection, staging, and treatment planning for breast cancer. Dr. Almir Bittencourt from Brazil emphasizes the importance of using contrast-enhanced breast MRI for preoperative staging, highlighting its effectiveness in revealing the extent of the disease and providing insights into tumor biology. Dr. Masako Kataoka from Japan discusses the utility of ultrafast dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI in identifying breast lesions despite the presence of background parenchymal enhancement. Dr. Jonathan James from the UK illustrates the practical applications of contrast-enhanced mammography in symptomatic clinics for detecting and evaluating breast lesions. He also discusses the criteria for choosing different imaging modalities and presents cases where these techniques were crucial in identifying multifocal diseases and assisting in pre-surgical evaluations. Overall, the video underscores contrast-enhanced imaging as vital in breast cancer management, offering improved detection, enhanced diagnostic accuracy, and aiding in personalized treatment planning.
