Description:
New Horizons in Breast Imaiging
Course Objectives
Upon completion of this course, the participant will be able to:
*Explain the ease of use and benefits of Tomosynthesis breast imaging
*Implement a high-risk screening program in your practice
*Enhance skills for better MR-guided breast biopsy performance
*Describe a more accurate and efficient use of ultrasound in breast cancer diagnosis
*Evaluate breast cancer with mammography, Tomosynthesis, ultrasound, and MRI
*Compare and contrast breast-specific gamma imaging (BSGI) with other advanced imaging modalities
*Understand the importance of screening mammography in breast cancer outcomes
*Use breast MRI more effectively for screening and diagnosis

Breasat Tomosynthesis Imaging Workshop 2012
The FDA approved an innovative three-dimensional digital mammography system in February 2011 that shows measureable improvement in clinical performance over conventional two-dimensional mammography. This new technology, called Breast Tomosynthesis, is expected to detect more cancers while resulting in fewer unnecessary diagnostic imaging studies and procedures. The FDA mandates that radiologists wishing to use the technology receive eight hours of case-based training in Tomosynthesis interpretation.

Participants will review over 100 clinical Tomosynthesis data sets with accompanying standard mammography at clinical workstations. Tomosynthesis interpretation is guided by expert faculty Drs. Elizabeth Rafferty and Phoebe Freer.
