Overview

Breast Imaging CME: Keep Pace with the Latest

Topics in Mammography is the eighth edition of our comprehensive evidence-based breast imaging program. This online CME course features engaging commentary of case-based topics and state-of-the-art literature updates. Under the direction of University of California, San Diego’s R. James Brenner, MD, JD, FACR, FCLM, speakers guide you in evaluating the potentials and pitfalls of both current and new imaging approaches.

 

Learn at your own pace with presentations focused on specialized topics — artificial intelligence (AI), supplementary screening (including a special lecture on contrast enhanced mammography), the physics of DBT, imaging of young cancer patients — as well as:

  • New, more efficient approaches to traditional imaging work-ups
  • A comprehensive anatomy-pathophysiology discussion clarifying the correlation between imaging and histology
  • An extensive review of MRI and multifaceted applications
  • Insightful commentary on medical legal aspects for your practice, avoiding false negatives, communication, implications and consequences related to use of AI and DBT
  • Critical analyses of different imaging approaches and avoiding advocacy or bias
  • And more…

Learning Objectives

At the conclusion of this activity, the participant will be able to:

  • Differentiate the imaging findings of benign and malignant breast masses
  • Recognize the features of benign or malignant calcifications on mammogram
  • Formulate approaches to one- and two-view asymmetries seen on screening mammogram

  • Evaluate the issues regarding risk and breast density
  • Analyze the different approaches to supplementary screening imaging modalities beyond mammography
  • Recognize the indications and limitations of stereotactic breast biopsy
  • Analyze different approaches and limitations of ultrasound guided breast techniques
  • Compare different methods of preoperative image-guided localization of nonpalpable lesions for surgical excision
  • Decide on appropriate management recommendations following percutaneous breast biopsies of “high risk” lesions
