EUSOBI 2021: A turning point in women’s health

The breast imaging field plays a critical role in women’s health and wellbeing around the globe. Bringing together experts, leaders and innovators from across the breast imaging landscape, the 2021 European Society of Breast Imaging (EUSOBI) Congress comes at a crucial time and represents a pivotal opportunity for the industry as a whole.

Taking place online from 4-28 October, 2021, the virtual nature of the event points to the ongoing impact of the Covid-19 pandemic, which has greatly affected the breast imaging field.

The pandemic upended screening across Europe, leading to delayed appointments for countless women as health care facilities were forced to make sacrifices and reallocate resources. As facilities continue to recover and address these backlogs, it is essential that we not only return to the status quo but utilise this once in a lifetime event as a catalyst to revolutionize breast imaging and care. Beyond the pandemic, threats to breast screening still exist in the absence of innovation, such as workflow inefficiencies and workforce development issues.

Getting cancer screening programmes back on track with AI and digitisation

The Covid-19 pandemic continues to impact people’s health across the world. This goes beyond the disease itself, as healthcare systems adapt how they provide services. Routine screening has been severely affected with screening programmes reduced or paused.

The breast imaging field has reached a potential turning point and has the opportunity to reimagine the way our industry operates and provide patients with better care than ever before. Hologic is committed to helping health care professionals diagnose and treat patients with the utmost certainty and effectiveness, providing solutions that encompass the full clinical continuum of breast health. As a global champion for women’s health, the company is excited to participate in EUSOBI 2021 as we all work together to ultimately improve the lives of patients and their loved ones.

As part of this year’s annual congress, Hologic will host the following medical education webinars to help spur discussions around a number of important topics:
