Description:

Keep Pace with the Latest in Breast Imaging

Topics in Mammography is the 6th edition of our comprehensive breast imaging program. This CME course features engaging audio commentary with an information-packed virtual slideshow — rich with charts, graphics and radiology images — to enhance your learning and help you stay current.

In addition to delving into areas like imaging and intervention,  breast density controversies, and medical legal issues, new Topics in Mammography presentations include:

• In-depth look at tomosynthesis, including approaches to asymmetries not resolved by tomosynthesis (This program meets FDA requirements for 8 hours of tomosynthesis training as a new modality for radiologists)
• Inclusive discussion of strategies and outcomes for dense breasts, high-risk lesions and percutaneous biopsies
• State-of-the-art review of conventional imaging and galactography
• Informative overview of surveillance strategies

Plus, you’ll have the opportunity to earn a maximum of 30.50 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits ™ for mammography and image-guided biopsy — more credits than ever before! These credits can also be used toward the ABR’s MOC Part II requirements.

Accreditation

Learning Objectives

• Recognize the mammographic and sonographic features of breast masses that distinguish between a likely benign or malignant origin
• Discuss the relative strengths and limitations of different types of imaging including mammography, ultrasound, and MRI for probably benign breast lesions
• Recognize the various methods and instruments available for percutaneous biopsy under stereotactic, ultrasound, and MR guidance
• Explain the potential and limitations of alternative breast imaging techniques such as nuclear imaging techniques and physiologic rationales to imaging
• Recognize and understand the different approaches toward image guided biopsy including limitations and potentials
• Recognize the nature of different MRI techniques and the consequences of such modifications
• Recognize the potentials and limitations of imaging surveillance as opposed to the need for biopsy

Intended Audience

This course is intended for radiologists in academics or private practice. Radiologists involved in breast imaging and interventional procedures. Radiology technologists and nurses involved in breast imaging and intervention. Any physician (e.g. surgeons) working in the field of evaluation and treatment of breast disease who desires a more comprehensive understanding of the imaging aspects of evaluation.
