Breast Imaging from A to Z

3790 El Camino Real
Suite 2029
Palo Alto, CA 94306
COURSE DESCRIPTION
This course provides an integrated approach to
comprehending the basis and applications of breast
imaging in six distinct sessions.
Sessions 1 and 2 will take the attendee through the
histopathologic basis for benign and malignant breast
disease with imaging correlates. Conventional topics
with simplified and novel strategies are presented to both
review and advance the practice of mammography and
ultrasound, and the alternatives of imaging surveillance.
Session 3 focuses on current and evolving concepts in
MRI imaging and advanced digital platforms, offering
perspectives on different technologies that can be
incorporated into every day clinical practice. Sessions 4 and
5 are devoted to issues in breast interventional procedures
and breast density; reviewing the topics all practicing
radiologists need to know and providing a foundation for
management recommendations. Finally, Session 6 will go
over the medical and legal issues in breast imaging.
COURSE OBJECTIVES
Upon completion of program, participants should be
able to:
• Assess the current status and future applications
of advanced breast imaging technologies.Implement
state-of-the-art digital mammography techniques and
protocols into clinical practice
• Differentiate abnormal findings on film screen and
digital mammography, ultrasound, and MRI, and
correlate findings for optimal lesion evaluation and
localization
• Evaluate the appropriate use of BI-RADs for reporting
of lesions
• Optimize imaging methods to reduce the number of falsepositive and false-negative mammography interpretations
• Recognize the potentials and limitations of current
density assessments of breast including risk and
masking implications
• Implement current techniques for the sonographic
evaluation of breast masses
• Analyze the applications, techniques, and pitfalls
of stereotactic, ultrasound-guided, and MRI-guided
biopsy and employ appropriate image-guided breast
interventional procedures
• Summarize the indications, strengths and weaknesses
for utilizing breast MRI with regard to screening,
staging and monitoring response to treatment
• Summarize the indications, strengths and weaknesses
for utilizing breast MRI with regard to screening,
staging and monitoring response to treatment
• Improve diagnostic outcomes by applying current
breast MRI protocols and interpretation method
TARGET AUDIENCE
• General radiologists and trainees interested in
breast imaging
• Radiology residents and fellows in training
• Radiology technologists, nurses and radiology
physician assistants
• Breast surgeons
• Allied health care professionals who desire to have
an update on the state of current imaging as an aid
to patient management for diseases of the breast
