Comprehensive Review of Breast Imaging

Overview

Breast Imaging CME: Learn the Latest

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
