Breast Imaging and Digital Mammography
CME Group, March 2010
Breast Imaging and Digital Mammography provides a concentrated overview of the current status of breast imaging and recent developments in the subspecialty. Emphasis on the application of mammographic and sonographic techniques in breast cancer detection and diagnosis is highlighted in each series of lectures.
This activity is designed for the clinical radiologist who practices general diagnostic radiology including breast imaging. Emphasis on MRI and safety issues are included, and hot topics such as staging of the axilla and the importance of DCIS are addressed.
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
