Breast Ultrasound

Learn from Breast Imaging Experts

Designed with the practicing radiologist in mind, Breast Ultrasound calls on experienced radiologists to help you:

• Familiarize yourself with the appearance of normal breast anatomy and pathophysiology, and learn to distinguish malignant from benign lesions (including invasive cancers and DCIS)
• Improve breast ultrasound imaging quality by optimizing your technique, and introducing you to the specifics of hand-held and automated whole breast ultrasound
• Understand key issues, including BIRADs for breast ultrasound, 3D and 4D ultrasound use, how to characterize solid breast nodules, and evaluating breast cysts and carcinoma in situ

Featuring prominent breast imaging faculty, this program uses case studies and flight simulator technology to provide practical insights you can apply immediately.

Learning Objectives

At the conclusion of this CME activity, the participant will be able to:

• Describe the ultrasound appearance of normal breast anatomy and breast pathophysiology, and ways to improve breast ultrasound imaging quality through technique optimization
• Delineate ways to distinguish malignant from benign lesions on ultrasound, including invasive cancers and DCIS
• Elucidate the new role of breast cancer screening with whole breast ultrasound, both hand-held and automated

Intended Audience

The activity was designed for the radiologists in practice who routinely are called upon to perform diagnostic imaging in various subspecialties and need to be proficient in several modalities; and radiology residents.
