Women’s and Breast Imaging
New York University Post-Graduate Medical School and the Department of Radiology
|
Course Co-Directors: Genevieve L. Bennett, MD and Hildegard K. Toth, MD
This course is designed for the practicing radiologist with
particular interest in women’s imaging and breast imaging.
During the women’s imaging segment, the participating
faculty will discuss each of the imaging modalities applied
to obstetrical and gynecological imaging including
ultrasound, MRI and CT. Practical and multimodality
approaches to common imaging problems in the female
pelvis will be emphasized, including imaging of the patient
with pelvic pain, evaluation of adnexal masses and
assessment of benign and malignant disorders of the uterus.
Topics in obstetrical imaging will include requirements
for the sonographic fetal anatomic survey, sonographic
evaluation of obstetrical emergencies, normal and abnormal
first trimester pregnancy and imaging pitfalls. The role of
MR and CT in the evaluation of the pregnant patient will
also be discussed.
During the Breast Imaging component of this course,
the practicing radiologist will become familiar with
mammographic technique and the various adjunctive
methods available to diagnose breast disease. These
methods include ultrasound, MRI, spectroscopy, and
interventional procedures. The radiologist will learn
helpful algorithms to better direct the diagnostic workup.
Management and follow-up review for highrisk lesions
will be discussed. The value of the integrated approach
to breast health will be emphasized.

Intended Audience
This course is intended for radiologists in academics
or private practice.
Statement of Need
Due to the rapidly evolving field of women’s imaging and
breast imaging, there is a need for maintaining cutting-edge
knowledge of new clinical applications, techniques and
interpretation. Maintenance of certification requires
continued review of essential imaging techniques
in all areas of radiology.

Learning Objectives
- In order to improve overall diagnostic accuracy,
understand and apply adjunctive diagnostic tools such
as image-guided biopsies in the evaluation of suspicious
breast lesions
- When examining the breast, improve interpretation
skills of mammography, ultrasound and MRI, based
on advanced imaging protocols
- In the evaluation of the breast, describe appropriate
indications and categorize breast lesions on dynamic
contrast enhanced MR, based on the discussion of
high-field strength MRI and spectroscopy
- In order to improve diagnostic acumen, effectively use
ultrasound and CT to evaluate the patient with pelvic
pain. Given pregnant patients with abdominal pain,
diagnose various abnormalities using ultrasound,
CT, and MRI
- Given patients who present with vaginal bleeding and
suspected cervical or uterine malignancy, effectively use
various imaging methods to evaluate the patient, based
on state-of-the-art imaging applications
