This online CME program begins with an overview of breast MRI, moves into state-of-the-art coverage of breast imaging, then wraps up with breast ultrasound. It offers a unique learning opportunity for diagnostic radiologists, breast imaging specialists, technologists, and other healthcare providers interested in breast radiology.
Comprehensive Review of Breast Imaging features leading clinical educators from major academic medical centers who present didactic lectures, case reviews, and guided continuing medical education instruction of:
- Advanced breast tomosynthesis
- Automated breast ultrasound interpretation
- Advanced ultrasound technologies and their impact on diagnosis
- Emerging breast imaging technologies
Learning Objectives
At the conclusion of this CME activity, the participant will be able to:
- Understand the use of MRI in defining extent of disease in the newly diagnosed woman
- List a key component to acquiring good quality breast MR images
- Evaluate options for multiparametric MRI
- Describe the concept of Abbreviated Breast MRI (AB-MR) in screening average risk women with dense breasts
- List an indication for MR biopsy
- Assess the added value of vascular breast imaging over anatomic breast imaging
- Describe the basic approach to analyzing breast MRI studies
- Understand different types of MR enhancement
- Recognize the similarities between BI-RADS for MRI and mammography
- Understand the different patterns and accuracies of assessing response to Neoadjuvant treatment
- Identify common findings that are classically benign on breast MRI
Intended Audience
This educational activity was planned for diagnostic radiologists, breast imaging specialists, technologists, and other healthcare providers interested in breast radiology.
