Complementary Breast Diagnostics: A Matter of Multimodality Imaging
Costs, radiation dose and available time are generally in conflict with the need for frequent, dedicated and detailed information. Breast cancer diagnostics is more than ever before a matter of multimodality diagnostics, selecting the correct imaging method and follow-up scheme has a significant impact on the accurate diagnosis and treatment planning.
What do our clinical experts have to say?
In this module, experts discuss how they apply the guidelines for complementary breast diagnostics in individual cases in routine clinical practice. For this, they discuss clinical cases with the participants of online and on-site events.
Defining the future role of MRI and CEM in breast radiology
Differential breast diagnostics: Case discussions based on state-of-the-art imaging
In this online seminar, Dr. Clara Park (Wiesbaden, Germany) discusses screening and diagnostic cases from her clinical routine. She explains the strengths, advantages and limitations of each breast imaging technique in the detection and characterization of lesions. (EUSOBI ASM, Oct. 2021)
What do lesions look like on different breast imaging modalities?
Dr. Paola Clauser (University of Vienna, Austria) discusses clinical cases from her daily routine and explains the appearance of lesions in morphological imaging like in digital mammography and tomosynthesis compared to functional imaging like breast MRI and contrast enhanced mammography (EUSOBI, Oct.2020).
Pretherapeutic diagnostics of tumor extend
Prof. Dr. Evelyn Wenkel (University of Erlangen, Germany) and Dr. Paola Clauser (University of Vienna, Austria) show how the interaction of various modalities in breast cancer diagnostics is crucial. Using cases from their clinical routine, they draw conclusion for the role of DBT, MRI and Ultrasound. (ECR, March 2019)

Evelyn Wenkel; Erlangen, Germany
Paola Clauser; Vienna, Austria
In pretherapeutic diagnostics to determine the extent of spread of a breast cancer (TNM staging), the interaction of the various breast imaging modalities (comprehensive mammo diagnostics) plays a particularly important role. Various clinics are working on modern staging concepts, combining current guidelines with new imaging procedures.
In this symposium, two experts will each discuss pretherapeutic TNM staging diagnostics cases from their clinical routine. The audience will be actively involved in the coordination processes and is invited to participate in the discussion. (45 min.)
The biggest questions in breast screening
Defining the future role of MRI and CEM in breast radiology
Paola Clauser, Vienna, Austria – CEM perspective
Pietro Panizza, Milan, Italy – MR perspective
Learning objectives:
- Review the most recent studies on the indications of CE-MRI of the breast

Differential breast diagnostics: Case discussions based on state-of-the-art imaging
Increasing incidence of breast cancer, technological advancements, Costs, radiation dose and available time to guarantee efficient workflows in every day clinical practice are generally in conflict with the need for frequent, dedicated and detailed information. Breast cancer diagnostics is more than ever before a matter of multimodality diagnostics, selecting the correct imaging modality and follow-up scheme has a significant impact on the accurate diagnosis and treatment planning. The establishment of breast tomosynthesis has been an important step and the superiority of this diagnostic tool is no longer to be doubted.
Learning objectives:
- To discover the advantages of basic imaging methods such as mammography and ultrasound.
- To establish when basic examinations are sufficient and from what point additional diagnostic procedures like breast tomosynthesis, or breast MRI are required.
- To explain the strengths, advantages and limitations of each breast imaging technique in the detection and characterization of lesions
- To find potential solution approaches using multimodal imaging in the differential-diagnostics of breast malignancies.
