Date of Original Release: December 15, 2010
Date Credits Expire: December 14, 2013
This educational activity is a DVD format. The activity was planned for radiologists in the clinical practice of breast disease. It is estimated that it should take the average learner 26.5 hours, including completion of the activity evaluation, to conclude the activity. To receive CME credit, participants must complete the registration form, score at least 70% on the post-test, and complete the activity evaluation. This material should be mailed to Northwestern CME. You may contact Northwestern CME at (312) 503-8533.
Disclosure
Speakers have been asked to disclose any financial or personal relationships with pharmaceutical or medical equipment companies that may have relevance to their lectures, in addition to any discussion in their manuscript or live presentation that deals with investigational or off-label use of pharmaceutical or medical equipment products. Disclosures do not suggest bias but provide registrants with information relevant to evaluating presentations. The full disclosure of faculty is listed in the syllabus.
