Learning Objectives
After viewing this activity, participants should be able to:
Breast Imaging
- Compare the considerations applicable to screening with different breast imaging techniques, including mammography, ultrasound, nuclear medicine, CT and MRI
- Describe the rationale and expected outcomes for imaging surveillance of probably benign lesions of the breast
- Understand the appropriate use of BIRADs and be familiar with recent updates
- Use methods to reduce the number of false-negative and false-positive mammography interpretations
- Describe the key medicolegal aspects of breast imaging practice
- Assist in diagnostic workups using interventional breast imaging procedures, including percutaneous sampling of nonpalpable lesions
- Describe the current uses of full-field digital mammography and computer assisted detection
- Recognize the indications, strengths and weaknesses of current breast magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) techniques
- Understand the safety issues of MRI
Digital Mammography
- Describe strengths and limitations of digital mammography compared to conventional screen-film mammography
- Understand the current status of digital mammography and results of clinical trials using full-field digital mammography
- Describe practical approaches to the implementation of full-field digital mammography in a breast imaging practice
- Describe emerging digital mammography techniques, including contrast enhancement subtraction and tomosynthesis
- Gain practice in analyzing and interpreting digital mammography cases
