More than 40 technologists attended the educational forum designed with an emphasis on learning, collaboration and professional growth. The goal was to engage technologists on the frontlines of women’s health care about the latest advances in imaging technologies and screening best practices through interactive conversations and hands-on training with the latest imaging systems and clinical images.
The program included more than 10 presentations from experts in the women’s health space, including several radiologists from renowned institutions like MD Anderson Cancer Center and University of Pittsburgh Medical Center. Topics ran the gamut from new technologies in breast imaging to breast density communication and reporting, from contrast-enhanced mammography to understanding the patient’s journey after breast cancer diagnosis and more.
“Beekley Medical and Fujifilm Healthcare Americas Corporation share the same mission – to improve women’s health by expanding access to breast health education and mammography services for every woman who needs it,” said Henry Izawa, president and CEO, Fujifilm Healthcare Americas Corporation. “Technologists perform approximately 40 million mammograms in the U.S. every year. They are literally at the forefront of saving lives. And because they are on the frontlines, techs are also in a unique position to educate women about the importance of annual screenings and early diagnosis. This event was created to help techs expand their professional knowledge while also paying tribute to the critical work they do every day.”
“Beekley Medical is honored to partner with Fujifilm Healthcare Americas Corporation for the annual Breast Imaging Education Summit,” said Maureen O. Gallo, president of Beekley Corporation. “Not only do our companies share a legacy of 91 years in business, but we also share a deep commitment to excellence.
