Breast Biopsy – Ultrasound, Stereotaxis & MRI Guidance
DESCRIPTION
Breast Biopsy – Ultrasound, Stereotaxis & MRI Guidance offers an excellent overview of the three major means of image-guided biopsy in breast imaging. By synthesizing all three into one series of lectures, one gains a greater appreciation of the preferred indications and advantages of biopsy with each modality relative to the others. A detailed description of the techniques involved, and methods for troubleshooting in order to prevent and/or solve attendant technical problems, are described for each modality as well.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
At the conclusion of this CME activity, the participant will be able to:
- Enumerate the current indications for the performance of breast MR for both screening and diagnosis

- Relate the important technical issues in the performance of breast MR, and breast MR biopsy
- Explain the current and evolving applications of breast MR for treatment and follow-up of breast cancer
- Demonstrate the new role of breast MR in the diagnosis of DCIS
