Thursday 4th March
This interactive workshop explores all things biopsy, from patient positioning to trouble shooting, and best-practice techniques. Develop practical skills and confidence in breast biopsy procedures, including vacuum-assisted breast biopsy (VABB).
Explore ergonomic techniques that promote both high-quality imaging and mammographer wellbeing. Participants will learn positioning strategies that help reduce physical strain, improve comfort, and support sustainable clinical practice.
Through case-based discussion, expert Prof Sarah Friedewald will share the pearls and pitfalls of DBT biopsy, troubleshooting strategies, and approaches to managing challenging scenarios to help optimise procedural success, accuracy and patient outcomes.
Prof Sarah Friedewald
Professor Sarah M. Friedewald, MD FACR FSBI, is an internationally recognised breast imaging specialist and academic radiologist from the United States, with a distinguished career spanning clinical practice, research, education and leadership in breast imaging.
Based at Mass General Brigham and Harvard Medical School, Professor Friedewald is a leader within the Division of Breast Imaging, serving as Academic Division Chief of Breast Radiology. Her clinical and academic work has focused on advancing breast cancer detection and screening, with expertise in digital breast tomosynthesis and emerging technologies in breast imaging and breast cancer risk – particularly AI.
Professor Friedewald has contributed to influential research evaluating the impact of 3D mammography on breast cancer detection and screening outcomes and has published extensively in leading radiology and medical journals. Her work reflects a strong commitment to translating advances in breast imaging technology into meaningful improvements in clinical practice and patient outcomes.
A highly regarded educator and international speaker, Professor Friedewald brings a unique perspective on the evolution of breast imaging, combining deep clinical expertise with an evidence-based approach to innovation, screening and the future of breast cancer detection.
Join internationally recognized breast imaging expert Dr Sabine Ohlmeyer for an interactive workshop exploring the evolving role of Contrast-Enhanced Mammography (CEM) in breast imaging. Drawing on real-world experience and the latest innovations in ClearCEM, this session will provide practical guidance on image interpretation, lesion localisation, and building confidence in clinical decision-making. Through case-based discussion and clinical insights, attendees will gain a deeper understanding of how CEM can support diagnosis and enhance patient care. Following the strong interest and outstanding attendance at her RSNA workshops, this is a valuable opportunity to learn from one of the leading voices in CEM education.
Dr Sabine Ohlmeyer
Sabine Ohlmeyer, PD. Dr., MHBA, completed her radiological training at the University Hospital Erlangen, Germany.
She heads the Gynecological Radiology and Multimodal Breast Diagnostics at the Radiological Institute of the University Hospital Erlangen.
Modern, overlay-free, three-dimensional methods play a central role in breast imaging for her, such as diffusion-based MRM, breast imaging with low-field MRI, and the further development of dedicated breast computed tomography. Her focus, in addition to scientific aspects, is particularly on the applicability of these methods in clinical practice.
To complement this, she completed a Master's degree in Business Administration (MHBA) with a focus on Health Economics, which she finished in 2012. (Friedrich-Alexander University Erlangen-Nuremberg; Professor Schöffski).
Join leading mammography experts for a practical, interactive workshop focused on optimising positioning on the MAMMOMAT B.brilliant. Through shared experience, real-world examples, and proven techniques, you'll gain valuable tips and tricks to help achieve consistent image quality, enhance patient comfort, and build confidence in challenging examinations. Learn best-practice positioning approaches from experienced users and take away practical knowledge you can apply immediately in your daily clinical practice.
The BREAST workshops are open to any radiologist, radiology registrar, IMG, breast physician and sonographer. You will have access to curated BREAST test sets of 30-60 breast imaging cases, viewed on a diagnostic workstation, providing a realistic breast imaging interpretation experience. You will be able to download a CPD certificate at the completion of each test set. You can choose from a range of 2D mammography, DBT, CEM, and ultrasound test sets.
