Ever wonder what surgeons want to read in your reports when comes the time to plan, perform and follow-up on breast surgery? This talk will let the surgeons directly answer those questions.

This session will highlight the imaging needs of the surgeons while staging the patient. Is surgery the best initial option? What is the best approach for a personalized treatment plan? Imaging is key.

This talk will also address the actual surgical planning, to refine the treatment plan and surgical techniques to give the best patient care. Again, imaging leads the way. Which patients can benefit from a partial mastectomy and how?

During this session we will also discuss how imaging can support and guide surgeons to perform the most appropriate breast reconstruction in view of the patient preferences and treatment plan. We hope you’ll join us for this very patient-centered presentation.

Learning Objectives:

Upon completion, participants will be able to understand how certain paths of treatment are selected for individual patients.
Upon completion, participants will be able to know what radiological information is most useful to guide the surgeon.
