Description
Breast Imaging and Intervention: A Comprehensive Review, features key presentations on the most recent, clinically relevant findings, best practices and procedures and advances in breast imaging that are happening today. These developments include all the new techniques and protocols for producing the interpreting mammography examinations. The self-instructional format allows you to earn credits as your time permits.
Learning Objectives
At the end of this activity, participants will be able to:
- Identify and remedy deficiencies in image quality
- Discuss special requirements for digital imaging quality
- Discuss anatomical and positioning factors that affect optimal tissue visualization
- Assess the opportunity, responsibility and techniques for the radiologist to significantly reduce patient anxiety
- Demonstrate the radiologist’s role in helping patients acquire a clearer understanding of the imaging findings, their significance and the appropriatemanagement of imaging detected and biopsy-diagnosed lesions
- Apply techniques for optimally communicating benign ormalignant findings to the patient
- Differentiate the importance and techniques to provide some good news with any reporting of bad news
- Distinguish the different types of non-invasive breast cancer
- Recognize differences in the radiographic presentation of different forms of non-invasive breast cancer
- Describe the requirements for reporting workflow
