This course is designed for the clinical radiologist who specializes in breast imaging or who practices general diagnostic radiology including breast imaging. It is intended to provide an overview and update on clinically relevant topics in mammography, including recent developments in diagnostic imaging of the breast.
Speakers will discuss relevant changes in the new 5th edition of BI-RADS, and participants will have the opportunity to discuss their questions with the experts who developed the BI-RADS classifications. Course content will emphasize a practical approach, and will include didactic lectures and small group workshops covering digital mammography, breast tomosynthesis and breast MRI. Faculty panels will allow participants to pose individual questions to “the experts” for discussion of challenges and issues encountered in daily clinical practice.
This course satisfies the continuing medical education requirement for MQSA in breast imaging.
