Breast Imaging CME: Advanced Multimodality

Designed for both the clinical radiologist who specializes in breast imaging and the radiologist who has general diagnostic duties, this online video CME program delivers practical, case-based insights across the full spectrum of breast imaging.

UCSF Breast Imaging highlights recent developments, with a strong focus on the use of multimodality imaging and intervention (mammography, ultrasound and MRI), as well as the growing use of tomosynthesis and contrast-enhanced mammography.

Dynamic continuing medical education lectures, challenging cases, and discussion panels will help sharpen diagnostic accuracy and clinical decision-making. Additional topics include:

• BI-RADS 6th edition changes and updates
• Breast ultrasound and palpable lump work-up
• MRI protocols, indications, and challenging case review
• Axillary assessment, staging, and histologic insights
• Medicolegal considerations and malpractice case review
